Surrounded by higher and more imposing hills, An Sìthean is a forgotten Corbett peak hiding in a remote area where the glens of Strathconnon, Strathfarrar and Gleann Uig meet.
The stalkers paths on An Sìthean help access this Corbett, though many sections of these paths are now overgrown and quite indistinct. Being situated equi-distanced from the roadside at Achnaschellach, Strathconon and Monar Dam, there are a few route options to bag this lonely Corbett !
