An Teallach ("The Forge") is widely regarded as the finest mountain in Scotland — a long, serrated ridge of red Torridonian sandstone that rises above Dundonell on the south shore of Little Loch Broom. The standard approach starts from the A832 near Dundonell Hotel and climbs to Coire Toll an Lochain, a spectacular corrie enclosed by near-vertical walls. The walk to the corrie and back is worthwhile in itself and accessible to any fit hillwalker.
The full ridge traverse adds the Corrag Bhuidhe pinnacles — a series of exposed sandstone towers requiring genuine scrambling and a steady head for heights. A slip here would be serious. The traverse is typically done east to west, finishing at Sail Liath and descending back to the road. Allow a full day; the round trip is around 18 km with over 1,500 m of ascent.
On clear days the views take in Beinn Dearg Mor, the Summer Isles, and the Outer Hebrides. Golden eagles and ptarmigan are regularly seen on the upper ridge.
