Mòruisg is a Scottish mountain situated in the Glencarron and Glenuig Forest, 10 kilometres south west of the village of Achnasheen in the Highland council area.

==Overview== The hill reaches a height of 928 metres (3044 feet) and is the most easily accessible of the Glen Carron Munros, being situated just three kilometres from the A890 road which runs through the glen. Its Scottish Gaelic name translates as “Big Water” which is slightly unusual as the only sheets of water on the mountain are two small lochs in the corries to the north of the mountain.
