A' Chralaig (Scottish Gaelic:A' Chràileag)[3] is amountain in theNorthwest Highlands ofScotland, north ofLoch Cluanie and south ofGlen Affric. It is aMunro with a height of 1,120 metres (3,670 ft). It is the highest peak alongGlen Shiel and can be easily climbed from the Cluanie Inn on theA87.[4] The eastern slopes of the mountain, are owned by theForestry Commission and are part of theKintailNational Scenic Area.
Despite being the highest peak on the ridge, it is considered less interesting than the route overStob Coire na Cràlaig to the nearbyMullach Fraoch-choire.[5] These two peaks may be combined with the neighbouring peaks ofSgurr nan Conbhairean andSail Chaorainn to make the so-called "Cluanie Horseshoe", although no path connects A' Chràlaig with the peaks to the east.[6]
