Glac nan Ramh is a beautiful corrie located in Argyllshire, Scotland. A corrie, also known as a cirque or a cwm, is a bowl-shaped valley carved out by glaciers during the last Ice Age. Glac nan Ramh is surrounded by steep and rugged cliffs, creating a stunning and dramatic landscape.

The corrie is situated at the head of a glacial valley, with a small lochan (lake) located at its base. The lochan is fed by meltwater from the surrounding mountains, adding to the scenic beauty of the area.

The valley is home to a variety of wildlife, including red deer, ptarmigans, and golden eagles. Hikers and outdoor enthusiasts frequent the area to explore the rugged terrain and take in the breathtaking views.

Glac nan Ramh is a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful and remote setting to enjoy the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The corrie offers a unique opportunity to experience the power of glacial forces and witness the geological processes that have shaped the landscape over thousands of years.
