Quinag

Quinag is a mountain massif in the Assynt area of Sutherland in northwest Scotland, notable for a three-peaked ridge that dominates the local skyline. It is a popular destination for hillwalking and ridge routes in the Highlands.

The massif offers routes of varying difficulty along its three summits and a ridge that provides wide views over nearby lochs and other Assynt peaks. Walkers typically approach from nearby glens and tracks rather than from established visitor infrastructure.

Quinag has long been used for grazing and hillwalking; ownership and land management have varied over time with a mixture of private estates and conservation interests. It is part of the broader Assynt landscape that has seen increasing attention from hillwalkers and nature visitors in recent decades.

The massif sits in northwest Sutherland near Loch Assynt in a sparsely populated, rugged landscape. The nearest sizeable towns are in the Highland region to the southeast and southwest; access is by minor roads and upland tracks.
