An Teallach

The central chain of peaks of An Teallach

The An Teallach ( The Anvil The Forge or in Gaelic ) is a up to 1,062 meters high mountain massif in Scotland and is situated in Wester Ross in the Highland Council Area. It is located in the northern part of the Fisher Field Forest, a hardly developed and largely uninhabited area between Kinlochewe, Poolewe and Ullapool.

The massif of An Teallach draws a semicircle to the east open to the small hole Toll on Lochain and consists of a total of ten major peaks, two of which, the Bidean a ' Ghlas Thuill (or Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill, 1,062 m) and the two meters lower Sgùrr Fiona are classified as Munros. By 1981, the Sgùrr Fiona was only classified as a top.

Mostly consists of An Teallach from torridonischem sandstone. Like the mountains in Torridon, therefore, the An Teallach on steep, slightly terraced summit areas, pull through to deep gullies and Corrie's downhill. The both sides steeply sloping ridge between the two main peaks is occupied by rock pinnacles and spiers. The excess of the ridge is therefore a serious mountain hike that requires a head for heights and sure-footedness. Starting points for trips to An Teallach are located along the A832 near Dundonnell at Little Loch Broom, an estuary south of Ullapool.

The An Teallach is one of the most beautiful but also most difficult Munros. In a reader poll by a British outdoor magazine, he finished with the Ladhar Bheinn, Ben Nevis, Buachaille Etive Mòr Liathach and the front seats, as well as in the classification by the users of a Scottish migrant website.
