Breabag

Breabag is a mountain in the far north of the Scottish Highlands, standing on the route from Scourie to Lairg. It sits at grid reference NC286157 and has a shelter at its summit. The peak is classified as a Marilyn, Corbett and HuMP, terms used by hill-walking groups to describe hills with certain height and prominence criteria. These lists are maintained by organisations that measure, verify and collect data on British and Irish hills. The most recent resurvey of Breabag’s height was carried out on 15 January 2003 using modern methods. The name is being researched in its original Gaelic form, and any local knowledge is welcomed. A visitor reaches the top by following the path from Scourie to Lairg. The shelter provides a place to rest and enjoy views across the surrounding moorland. The wide, open landscape stretches towards the coast and inland hills, offering a quiet space for walkers.
