The stony summit dome of Sgurr nan Conbhairean

Sgurr nan Conbhairean rises to the north of Loch Cluanie and is situated on the south side of the eastern section of an arching ridge overlooking the loch collectively known as the Five Sisters of Kintail. It doesn't look very dramatic from the A87 below as the summit point is hidden and the southern side corries are pretty featureless.

North ridge of Sgurr nan Eag

Sgurr a'Mhadaidh is a [Munro] summit on the Black Cuillin ridge. Like the rest of the range it is composed of gabbro, a rock with excellent grip for mountaineering.

The simplest route ascends via the col of An Dorus (the Door), most easily reached from Glen Brittle. The mountain has four summits; only the highest can be reached by scramblers. The three lower summits require rock-climbing skills and equipment.

Sgurr an Tuill Bhain is a subsidiary top just over a km on the east side of the munro Slioch. On the south of this top is a large open corrie, the Coire na Sleaghaich.

Usual access is via a high col on the western side of the top which leads to Slioch. This is a fine ridge walk between Sgurr an Tuill Bhain and Slioch.

View west from Sgurr nan Coireachan

Sgurr nan Coireachan is a munro in the heart of remote wilderness between Loch Arkaig, Loch Quoich & Loch Nevis rising on the north side of upper Glean Dessary. It is quite a shy peak standing centrally on the Gairich-Sgurr na Ciche ridge and not easily seen unless up high on neighbouring munros or tops. Although Sgurr nan Coireachan is beyond Knoydart's true boundaries it remains closely associated with the name 'the Rough Bounds'.
