Walk: Rubha Beag – Mellon Udrigle’s undulating meallans

📌 Mellon Udrigle, Highland
★★★

Explore the coastline north of Mellon Udrigle on this rewarding loop starting on the sand of Camas a’ Charraig. A pair of minor hills provide waypoints on the windswept peatland, and are the best places from which to admire the distant Summer Isles backed by Coigach. After approaching the tip of Rubha Beag, a track makes short work of the inland return.
