Kealoch or An Teallach, a mountain (3483 feet) in Lochbroom parish, NW Ross-shire, rising on the S side of the upper part of Little Loch Broom, 3¼ miles SW of Dundonnell. It consists entirely of sandstone, but presents an appearance as if it consisted of granite; and rises on one side right from the loch in steep and soaring acclivities, on another side from among a series of glens, ravines, and ridges, nearly all of white rock and unutterably desolate. It overtops all the neighbouring country, and looks to the eye to be higher than any single mountain in Scotland, excepting Ben Nevis; and it commands an extensive view, comprising all the details of Lochs Broom and Greinord.—Ord. Sur., sh. 92, 1881.
