Mountain Description
Carn Chuinneag is a uniquely twin topped hill (the summit higher by only 8m) at the head of Glen Calvie which is to the S of Strathcarron. A track runs from the end of the public road at Glencalvie Lodge S to the base of Carn Chuinneag then continues NE turning SE to Strath Rusdale where it again joins a public road. Carn Chuinneag can therefore be approached from either of those glens, but Glen Calvie is the shorter route. The two peaks of Carn Chuinneag have parallel N ridges and a path ascends the N ridge of the minor peak to almost 750m making for an easy ascent.
