Mullach na Dheiragain is a remote Munro that crowns the north-eastern ridge of mighty Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan, overlooking the western end of Loch Mullardoch. Its summit is a broad, grass-covered plateau fringed by rocky slopes, and it is accompanied on the ridge by two Munro Tops — Càrn na Con Dhu and Mullach Sithidh. Though modest in profile compared to its parent peak, it commands far-reaching views over Mullardoch and the hills of the north-west.
From either Glen Affric, or Loch Mullardoch as part of an extended circuit, Mullach na Dheiragain is generally reached as a long detour from Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan.
