Details for Sron a'Choire Ghairbh

Sròn a’ Choire Ghairbh is a Scottish mountain situated on the northern side of Loch Lochy, 13 kilometres north of Spean Bridge in the Highland Council area.

Sròn a’ Choire Ghairbh reaches a height of 937 metres (3074 feet) and is classified as both a Munro and a Marilyn. It is highest of the Loch Lochy< hills and is invariably climbed along with the neighbouring Munro of Meall na Teanga< to which it is joined by the distinctive col of the Cam Bhealach. Both these hills which are often referred to as the Loch Lochy< Munros are well seen from the A82 road on the opposite side of the loch, showing steep slopes which are forested below the 300 metre contour. There are also extensive conifer plantings on the lower northern (Glen Garry) side of the mountain, this is gradually being restored to native species. The hills name translates from the Gaelic as “The Nose of the Rough Corrie” referring to the summits location on the edge of the craggy Coire Glas, which stands to the east.
