Corrachadh Mòr is a headland on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula in Lochaber, Highland, west of Scotland. Notable for being the most westerly point on the island of Great Britain. It is 37 km (23 mi) further west than Land's End in Cornwall.[1]
Depending on which coordinates are used, this headland is 31 or 43 metres (102 or 141 ft) west of Ardnamurchan Point (and about a kilometre to its south).[1] Ardnamurchan Point is commonly, but incorrectly, described as the most westerly point on the peninsula.[2]
Corrachadh Mòr means 'great, tapering field' in Scottish Gaelic.
