Cnoc Braonach, located in Sutherland, is a hill or mountain that stands at approximately 540 meters (1,770 feet) in height. It is situated in the northwest region of Scotland, within the broader area known as the Scottish Highlands. Cnoc Braonach is part of the larger group of peaks known as the Foinaven range.

The hill is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, with steep slopes and craggy outcrops that provide a challenging ascent for climbers and hikers. Its summit offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Loch Dionard and the surrounding hills and mountains, such as Arkle and Ben Stack.

Cnoc Braonach is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly those seeking to explore the wild and untouched beauty of the Scottish Highlands. It is often included in hiking and mountaineering routes that traverse the Foinaven range, providing a challenging and rewarding experience for experienced outdoor adventurers.

The hill is also home to a variety of flora and fauna, with heather and grasses covering its slopes, and occasional sightings of wildlife such as red deer and golden eagles. Its remote location and natural beauty make it an attractive destination for nature lovers and photographers.

While Cnoc Braonach may not be as well-known as some of the higher peaks in the Scottish Highlands, its rugged charm and stunning views make it a worthwhile destination for those seeking an authentic Highland experience.

Stag at Lochinver Can't imagine why the gentry spend their time stalking red deer in difficult terrain. This stag was grazing peacefully by the Community Centre car park in Lochinver village.
