Munro
Mountains in Scotland with a height of over 914 m / 3 000 ft bear a special name, the Munros. They are named after Sir Hugh Munro, the 4th Baronet (1856–1919), who produced the first list of such hills, known as Munro’s Tables, in 1891.
Tom a' Chòinich is a 1,112-metre (3,648 ft) mountain in Glen Affric in the Scottish Highlands. It is a Munro and less than 1 kilometre (0.5 mi) to the west is the 1,032-metre (3,386 ft) Munro Top Tom a' Chòinich Beag (NH158273). In Gaelic, Tom a' Chòinich means "mossy hillock". Its prominence is 149 metres (489 ft) with its parent peak, Càrn Eige, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to the west. This mountain should not be confused with the 955-metre (3,133 ft) Munro Top also called Tom a' Chòinnich near Ben Wyvis but which is usually spelled slightly differently.
Although the mountain can be climbed from Glen Cannich, an approach from Glen Affric is more straightforward using a path that goes northwest from the north shore of the Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin following Gleann nam Fiadh upstream. This path crosses Bealach Toll Easa which used to be the pass on the route from Affric Lodge to Benula Lodge before the latter was inundated by the creation of the reservoir at Loch Mullardoch. The southeast ridge is more direct but it is rocky at its lower levels.
There's a trail leading to the summit.
