Sgurr Breac

Sgurr Breac and A'Chailleach are western outliers of the Fannaichs, separated from the main group by the pass which goes north from the west end of Loch Fannich to the east end of Loch a' Bhraoin. The two mountains overlook Loch a' Bhraoin, and from the loch they have a craggy appearance. On the ridge between them is the lower top Toman Coinich, and from it a long spur, the Druim Reidh, extends northwards and ends with a very steep rocky prow above the outflow of Loch a' Bhraoin.

The traverse of Sgurr Breac and A'Chailleach starts from the A832 road at the point where a track leads to Loch a' Bhraoin. Go along this track, round the east end of the loch and up the path beside the Allt Breabaig to the pass at its source. From there climb north-west then west to Sgurr Breac. Continue westwards along the ridge over Toman Coinich to A'Chailleach. Descend along its north ridge, Sron na Goibhre, for 1 kilometre and then bear north-east down into the Toll an Lochain. Cross the stream flowing from Loch Toll an Lochain and continue a descending traverse northwards to reach Loch a' Bhraoin.
