The isolated peaks of Cul Mor 731m and Suilven 849m stand above the rugged landscape of peat lands, lochs, scattered ancient woodlands and coastal machair that make up the Assynt-Coigach National Scenic Area. Designated in 1977 it is a rich but fragile ecosystem, home to pine marten, otters, eagles and ptarmigan along with rare plant species. The John Muir Trust, local communities and landowners are working in partnership to manage the area sustainably.
