About Kintail Munros
Kintail is ridge-walking country of the highest order. The Five Sisters of Kintail, rising above Loch Duich in a sweeping wall of peaks, form one of the most iconic mountain views in Scotland. The traverse of the full ridge is a serious but magnificent day out, with each summit offering views west to Skye and east into the remote interior.
On the south side of Glen Shiel, the South Shiel Ridge extends for over ten kilometres, linking seven Munros in a single continuous traverse that can be walked in a long summer day. The accessibility is remarkable — the A87 runs through Glen Shiel, allowing easy starts and finishes. Few places in Scotland offer so many quality ridges concentrated in such a compact area.
Highlights: The Five Sisters of Kintail is one of Scotland's most famous ridges. The South Shiel Ridge links seven Munros in one walk.
