The Five Sisters of Kintail is the latest addition to the National Trust of Scotland’s (NTS) series of guided walks around some of the highlands’ most demanding mountains.

NTS launched the series of walks – which cost £25 each – earlier this month with treks on peaks including Bidean Nam Bian, Buachaille Etive Mor and Buachaille Etive Beag. Grough reports that ramblers participating will get the opportunity of seeing some of Scotland’s rarest creatures – including red deer – while on the walks.

As an added bonus for walkers on the new specialist trail, the Munros of Sgurr na Carnach, Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe and Sgurr Fhuaran will also be viewable on the Kintail walk.

Good quality hiking equipment is essential for all those planning to take part on the new walk, as the Five Sisters is always a challenge for both novices and experts alike.

Walking writer Cameron McNeish recently said that the best view the Kintail area has to offer can be found on Sgurr Mhic Bharraich.
