About Sail Mhor
Often overshadowed by the jagged pinnacles of its neighbor An Teallach, this substantial Corbett offers a peerless perspective of the Great Wilderness. Rising steeply above the southern shores of Little Loch Broom near Badcaul, its broad, heathery slopes lead to a summit with front-row seats to the spectacular Toll an Lochain corrie.

Did You Know?
- •Translated from Scottish Gaelic as the 'Great Heel', the name describes the hill’s physical form as a massive spur or projection sitting at the western end of the Dundonnell massif.
- •The summit offers a unique profile view of An Teallach’s two Munros, Bidein a’ Ghlas Thuill and Sgùrr Fiona, showcasing the sheer scale of their Torridonian sandstone cliffs from a distance that many ridge-climbers miss.
- •Most walkers approach the hill from the A832 near Badcaul, following the Ardessie burns where a sequence of powerful waterfalls provides a dramatic distraction during the initial 300 metres of ascent.
- •Despite its stature, it is frequently treated as a mere 'consolation prize' by those who arrive at Dundonnell only to find the main An Teallach ridge hidden in impenetrable mist.
