Moruisg

Unlike most of their neighbouring Munros to the south-east of Glen Carron, Moruisg and Sgurr nan Ceannaichean are very accessible from the A890 road in that glen. Moruisg is a long flat-topped hill with smooth grassy slopes on the Glen Carron side. Sgurr nan Ceannaichean is a more distinctive hill with a high craggy face cleft by two great gullies on its west side overlooking the Allt a' Chonais. On the north of the col between the two hills is the deep hollow of Coire Toll nam Bian, whose steep headwall prevents any approach to the col from the north.

The traverse of the two hills from Glen Carron starts from the A890 road about 1 kilometre downstream from Loch Sgamhain. Cross the River Carron and once past the railway climb fairly directly south-east up the grassy slopes of Moruisg to reach its north ridge a short distance from the summit. Go south-west along the broad ridge down to the col and climb more steeply to Sgurr nan Ceannaichean. Return by the ascent route for a short distance and then descend the north ridge, which becomes steeper halfway down. At the foot of the ridge cross the Alltan na Feola and follow the path on its right bank back to the bridge over the River Carron.
