An Ruadh-Stac stands in the heart of some wild landscapes between Glen Torridon and Strath Carron. It is a rugged litte hill, with a conical summit comprising mainly of quartzite rock that shimmers in sunlight if wet.

Most hikers will bag An Ruadh-Stac along with its higher neighbour, Maol Chean-dearg, approaching from Coulags to the south in Strath Carron. Recent hydro tracks and an old right-of-way lead to the base of these two mountains, from where a stalkers path reaches close to within 1km of the summits. There's some easy scrambling on An Ruadh-Stac.
