An Socach is a craggy munro surrounded by many munros which are much grander in stature as it is the smallest munro on a long ridge of mountains. An Socach is the most westerly of the line of four munros on the north side of Loch Mullardoch, known collectively as the Mullardochs, rising to the north of Glen Affric on a horseshoe ridge around the deep remote Gleann a' Choilich on the south western side.
Mullach na Dheiragain lies 4 km to the north-east of Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan with its small summit cairn standing at the end of a long ridge which is rocky in places. Although it is given full munro status, it is in fact part of the larger mass of Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan. Mullach na Dheiragain is one of the most remotest mountains in the Scottish Highlands and accessing it from any direction involves a very long approach.
Beinn Fhionnlaidh is a very inaccessible mountain and involves a long walk in from any direction unless one approaches by boat along Loch Mullardock. The hill rises on the south of Loch Mullardock, and stands on northern end of an arced shaped ridge which surround Gleann a' Choilich.
Usual access is via Bealach Beag (832m) on the south joining then neighbouring munro Carn Eighe . Alternatively a boat may be hired from the Mullardoch Dam giving direct access to Beinn Fhionnlaidh's steep northern slopes.
Tom a'Choinich is one of the easiest munros to reach in Glen Affric lying on the eastern end of the huge chain of mountains on the north side of the glen. The munro has quite a distinctive outline with 4 ridges converging to form pyramidal shaped summit and a big east facing corrie gives it a excellent appearance via Glen Affric.
The eastern ridge which is narrow leads down to a Bealach Toll Easa (872 metres) which was once a well used crossing betwen Glen Cannich and Glen Affric and continuing leads to the munro Toll Creagach .
Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan is a Scottish mountain that is situated in the remote and lonely mountainous country between Glen Affric and Glen Elchaig, some 30 kilometres east of Kyle of Lochalsh in the Highland region. With a height of 1151 metres (3776 feet) it is ranked as the third highest mountain north of the Great Glen (after Carn Eighe and Mam Sodhail) and is regarded as one of the finest hills in the whole of the United Kingdom.
Mam Sodhail, sometimes known by its anglicised name of "Mam Soul", is a Scottish Munro situated in the secluded country on the northern side of Glen Affric, some 30 kilometres east of Kyle of Lochalsh. At 1181 metres (3874 feet) it is the second highest mountain north of the Great Glen (after Càrn Eige) and the fourteenth highest in the United Kingdom. Càrn Eige stands just one kilometre to the north of Mam Sodhail and the two are regarded as twin mountains being roughly identical in height and appearance.
Càrn Eige, sometimes spelt Càrn Eighe, is the highest mountain in northern Scotland (north of the Great Glen). It is in the Highland council area, on the boundary between the committee areas of Inverness and Ross and Cromarty, on the former lands of the Clan Chisholm.
The mountain is very remote, more than ten kilometres from the nearest major road, although there is a youth hostel in Glen Affric that is nearer. In terms of relative height, it is the second tallest mountain in the British Isles, after Ben Nevis.
