ID:QZP40_CARD_3744DESCRIPTION:Quinag is a mountain massif found in Assynt, Sutherland. It has three distinct Corbett peaks (Scottish mountains between 2500 ft and 3000 ft with a drop of at least 500 ft on all sides) along its Y-shaped ridge. At 808m (2651ft), Sail Gharbh is the highest of these, followed by Sail Gorm (776m/2546 ft) and Spidean Coinich (764m/2506 ft). Geologically Quinag is made up of Torridonian sandstone on Lewisian gneiss with a thin layer of Cambrian quartzite. The name Quinag is an Anglicisation of the Gaelic 'cuinneag' meaning a milking pail, on account of the mountain's shape.
The 8400 acre Quinag estate was purchased by the John Muir Trust in 2005.
A drover's inn was first built at Inchnadamph in the middle of the eighteenth century. It was replaced by a more substantial coaching inn at the end of the eighteenth century. Today, Inchnadamph Hotel is well known to anglers and hill walkers.PLACENAME:InchnadamphOLD COUNTY/PARISH:SUTHERLANDSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:35580KEYWORDS:
