The cairn of Maoile Lunndaidh sits on top of a vast grass-covered plateau in the heart of Monar and Glen Uig. Several crests and ridges extend out from this summit, overlooking corries with lochans. A bit of debate has been taking place over the highest point, with recent measurements giving the honour to the high point above Creag Toll a' Choin.

The easiest route to Maoile Lunndaidh begins with a cycle from Craig near Achnaschellach to Glenuaig Lodge and a hike up steep slopes. This route could be extended to include other nearby Munros.

The longer approach from Strathfarrar is along fine stalkers paths and up gentler gradients. I wouldn't bother coming in from Strathconon as paths are overgrown and often indistinct !
