About Moruisg

Moruisg stands out dramatically, resembling a stranded whale, as it towers above the upper reaches of Glen Carron. The typical path to the summit, however, is less than ideal, involving a broad and often waterlogged incline that offers little in the way of interesting landmarks to distract from the climb. Despite the challenging terrain, the effort is rewarded with stunning views and a sense of accomplishment upon reaching the top.
