An Coileachan is a mountain of 3,028 feet in the Fannichs group, the easternmost of the nine munros of the Fannichs, mountains over 3,000 feet.
The summit of An Coileachan is in Ross-shire, though its western slopes are in a detached part of Cromartyshire, which latter shire takes in most of the highest mountains of the range.
The mountain rises up to the south of Loch Gorm, a steep-sided dome.
Ascent
An Coileachan might be approached on the track from the shore of Loch Fannich, which is close by. However the usual approach from the north is a long trail across the bogs and through the burns, for the main road, the A835, is to the north.
An Coileachan can conveniently be climbed along with others of the Fannichs' mountains and tops, in particular with nearby Meall Gorm or on a circular route including a descent to the shores of the splendid but isolated Loch Fannich.
