Corrachadh Mòr


Corrachadh Mòr ETRS89 (56°42′56.20″N 6°13′40.6″W / 56.7156111°N 6.227944°W / 56.7156111; -6.227944; grid reference NM414662) is a small hillock on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland, notable for adjoining the most westerly point on the island of Great Britain. It is about half a degree further west than Land's End in Cornwall.

Depending on which coordinates are used, this headland is 31 metres or 43 metres west of Ardnamurchan Point (about a kilometre to the north). The latter is commonly, but incorrectly, described as the most westerly point on the peninsula.

Corrachadh Mòr means 'great, tapering field' in Scottish Gaelic.
