- A Lesser known Iconic Scottish Mountain!
Many may never have heard of this mountain but IMHO it sits right up there with some of the best mountains in Scotland. I wanted to keep this for a good day, but with this in mind, I wasn't sure if I had made the right decision to go today as the weather forecast was all over the place.....

#Scotland'sMountains #winterhike #Assynt
Checking through your older videos out for a wee wander tomorrow. I now realise I might not do the whole lot with two dogs in tow, thanks for sharing
A super film Murray. Probably the most rewarding trio of Corbetts with a fairly high start/finish to boot
Murray, your superb video shows Quinag in all its majesty. I hadn't done it in snow - but it looks even more elegant and more daunting. For anyone unfamiliar with the far north-west of Scotland, I urge you to seek out images of Quinag with the Kylesku bridge in the foreground. It's one of Scotland's many breathtaking views.
Steaming Boots TV never disappoints....Great footage again chaps......😮😮😮😊
Thanks Murray the best bit of “telly” of the whole New Year look forward to your future adventures
Thanks David :)

Spectacular as usual 👍👍👍 What AWESOME views 😍😍😍 You really...really...really are not afraid of hights 😮😵😫 Thanks for the great video 😊
Thanks Astrid - it is a pretty spectacular palce - Assynt doesn't have the highest mountains in Scotland but is has some of the best landscapes - a fantastic place to visit :)

Fantastic as always. Nothing better on a cold winters day than watching Murray's vids with a nice bottle of Glengoyne teapot dram 007 & some Green & Blacks chocolate, perfect.
Wonderful video. Been up Quinag a couple of times in the summer, the first time it was so windy we couldn’t stand up on top, the second time it was so sunny and warm we stayed on top for two hours sunbathing with views to die for. Happy memories.
what amazing views
Thanks for keeping me sane during these mad times
Great video Murray, was good to meet you a few weeks back on Ben More 👍🏼
cracking views murray
I visited Scotland and specially the Highlands last Year over Christmas and NYE. I fell in love immediately with this wonderful place on earth. I found your Channel randomly on YT and i have to say i really appreciate your videos. Simply and beautiful at the same time. Thank You ! :) I am looking forward to return to Scotland. Best regards from Germany
Awesome as usual. Many thanks
I can’t do heights...so I’ll let you take me on theses rocky ventures;that plank bit had sent my legs going to jelly lol.
You certainly got a head for heights.
Beautiful place..thanks Murray.
Absolutely breathtaking; thank you for taking us there. 😀
Did that first summit spidean coinich the summer, it has height gain from the parking spot.
Did not do the other mountains. Interesting thanks , happy new year of ramblings
Great video - looking forward to lots more in the New Ywar
Really lovely blog! thanks.....

Always brightens my day when I see a video from you!
Awesome! Great little series Murray.
wow what nice way to start the year .❄❄
A great adventure Murray - thanks for taking us along with you. When you 'walked the plank' I was screaming "Noooooooooooo!!!" at the screen - ha ha ha! I was looking to see if you had the crampons on for it but I don't think so. I think it might have been a hands and knees job for me, ha ha! All the best!
Beautiful filming as usual
Pretty Great climb up to Quinag. Done it myslef A few years ago in the summer then desended off the back then walked through a pretty terrible bog back to the road! good times.
Brilliant - thank you very much, Murray!
I have just stumbled onto your films Murray and like pretty well everyone, I am well impressed with the quality of your productions - very professional, well done indeed. I look forward to a lot of viewing following your other exploits around Scotland - my wife and I have just moved to reside in the Torridon area (you can't imagine why!) and with Munro's 'compleat' we are looking forward to days such as these on the many wonderful other mountains especially here in the North-West, that are far superior to many a dour Munro! Keep the films coming please, they are terrific!
Top Cat hi TC - welcome to the channel - really hope you enjoy the vlogs - however you can just look out of your window to get a fix of the Scottish Mountains - super jealous of you new location - hope you settle in well and enjoy those magnificent mountains (literally ) on your doorstep :)
Thanks for watching

Brilliant film, can definitely see the time and effort you put into making this! Thanks very much, really enjoyable!
Amazing Murray ...
Fantastic day out Murray - Happy New Year!
Thanks for taking us along on a great day out in Assynt, Happy New Year Murray! I hadn’t realised it’s a trilogy I’m looking forward to watching the other two!
Excellent narration and energy Murray and walking that "Plank" was a great clip to add in to the production.
Very enjoyable adventure as always, your dedication and optimism is inspiring Murray, please keep sharing.
Love those Scottish mountains! Thanks for sharing those beautiful mountains to us across the pond👍🏼!
Great video Murray 👍🏻

Assynt rocks. Ben More Assynt is my favourite of all Scotland's mountains.
Quinag was engulfed in mist when I went up there some time ago, but it was still amazing.
Here's to another grand year in the hills Murray!
Just caught up with the festive trilogy - great viewing as always and that last day was just stunning. All the best for 2020 - look forward to seeing your adventures👍
Such a brilliant watch Murray despite the virtual queasy legs moment on the plank section!!!
Third time lucky, always worth persevering and what a walk in a stunning location. Thanks for taking us along as armchair companions.
Thanks for sharing and happy new year to you.

My favourite walk in the UK by a distance, though Arkle is pretty good too. Excellent film makes me wish I was there (again).
Stunning as always Murray.Took my son there a few weeks back for his first real winter walk .He is totally hooked
I'm gonna hit up some of the summits in the Pyrenees on Sunday but seeing this makes me miss home so much. Amazing cinematography! Keep up the superb work.
Really nice shots.

Spectacular! But I felt sick to my stomach when you went out on that ledge...😱 That can't be very safe at the best of times. Excellent vid & photos as always - thank you! 👌

Bloody hell, Murray. A hot tub! What’s things coming to 😆😜. It did look lush tho 😁. Cracking trilogy, loved it. Great effort. That last walk looked a tough one. The walk out on to the precipice looked well 😳😳😳. Ace though and a great inspirational start to 2020. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks David - must admit the hot tub was a welcome luxury on this trip :) a bit different from the dark dank cave and cramped car! lol
Thanks for watching

I'm jealous of your accent... great vid.
Great production and editing Murray....probably your best yet IMHO.
I fell in ❤ with Assynt a few years ago and I return every year. Quinag is a cracking day out and I'm so pleased the weather behaved for you after your previous two excursions.
Wishing you a 2020 full of adventures in our beautiful mountains.
Ian Tupman thanks Ian - very much appreciated 🙏 Assynt is a special place and I was so glad the weather played nicely for that first summit !!

@@ScotlandsMountains Thanks mate :)
Great stuff Murray, I got a bit of vertigo there for a while on that “plank.” Great way to start the new year, thanks! Suggestion: maybe on one of your vlogs you could give us some definitions of some of these terms for the peaks.
Brilliant location and videos Murray. Really enjoyed watching your channel over the past couple of years. Happy new year and all the best for 2020!
I'm looking for a good pair of walking trousers for the colder months. What do you recommend? Are these blue over trousers you are wearing?
Thanks for sharing the beautiful views of the mountains, simply amazing.. you’ve just got another subscriber to your channel.. Happy New Year to you ..,
Great video. I've not been to Assynt in winter ........ it's on the list now ... Thanks
Thanks John - Assynt is spectacular at any time, but when there is a dusting of snow -- wow!!
Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains you too and thank you .
Great video, sad I won't be able to get to Scotland before the snow melts!
I am in awe of your skills as a walker, photographer and movie maker. Well done, as always. I have wanted to walk this mountain ever since I saw it many moons ago. I have even passed it on my cycling trip around the top of Scotland a few years ago. I am getting on in years now but I will get up there one day but in the summer months. I also enjoy viewing your photos on Flickr. All the best to you for a great 2020.
Hi - Thank you - Quinag is well worth the effort - hope you get up there when you get back to Assynt
Thanks for watching

Good stuff Murray. It's been a few years since I did those hills. Must say it was a lot less exhausting watching you do them! :) It is a great day out.
wildfisher haha - not too sure about that - I was rather knackered getting round this mountain before darkness descended 😂😂
Thanks for watching

Could see the salmon farm i work on when you were doing your last piece to camera! Awesome mountain!

Last March I was doing a walk near Lochinvar, and saw the Quinag on the horizon. I said "What's that?" - and then made up my mind to climb it. I probably won't do it in snow, though from your video it does look spectacular.
That cabin looked mint. 👌🏼
Cracking day on Quinag Murray, I would have been walking 'the plank' a bit more gingerly. 😂
All the best M8 for 2020 🏴
Scottish Always Dixie same to you and yours 👍🥳
Well that turned into a brilliant hike Murray , what views really worth the effort . Atb Dave
Border Rambler thanks Dave - I must admit I was almost going to turn back when the blizzard engulfed me o the way up the first peak !! So glad it turned out well - Quinag is Definetely one mountain to keep for a good day 👍
Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
Me at 9 minutes: I’ll just crawl across the ridge on my hands and knees, if you don’t mind.
Me at 12 minutes: I think it’s important that I establish a base camp - back at the pod. {runs off the mountain}
Murray:
McDougal The Cavalier 😂😂 aye the pod was lovely 😊 the GoPro fisheye effect sometimes makes it look worse .. still not a place to slip !!
Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
Happy 2020 all
Looks like Quinag. The Kylesku Hotel has some very expensive seafood.
Your b roll really is some of the best and must take some real effort. Cheers.
