Corrie Sharroch, also known as Corrie (Glacial Valley), is a geographical feature located in the county of Angus, Scotland. A corrie, also called a cirque, is a steep-sided hollow formed by glacial erosion. Corrie Sharroch is situated in the Grampian Mountains, specifically within the Cairngorms National Park, one of the largest national parks in the United Kingdom.

This corrie is characterized by its impressive size and shape. It is a classic example of a glacial valley, with steep and almost vertical walls that enclose a bowl-shaped depression. The corrie was formed during the last Ice Age, when glaciers carved out the landscape, leaving behind this remarkable feature.

Corrie Sharroch is nestled amidst scenic surroundings, with rugged mountain peaks and lush vegetation adding to its natural beauty. The corrie is often visited by hikers and mountaineers, who are drawn to its dramatic scenery and challenging terrain. Its location within the Cairngorms National Park offers a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, rock climbing, and wildlife observation.

Visitors to Corrie Sharroch can expect breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the glacial valley below. The corrie provides a unique opportunity to witness the power of glacial processes and learn about the geological history of the region. With its natural beauty and accessibility, Corrie Sharroch is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking an adventure in the Scottish Highlands.
