About Sgurr a' Bhuic NE Top
Tucked away at the eastern edge of the Mamores, this outlier provides a quiet perspective on the remote Glen Rath. Its heathery slopes lack the footfall of the neighbouring Munros, offering a rough, pathless experience for those exploring the wild ground between Loch Eilde Mor and the Grey Corries.

Did You Know?
- •The name derives from the Gaelic 'Sgùrr a' Bhuic', meaning 'Peak of the Buck'. This refers to the male deer that frequent the high, grassy corries and surrounding slopes of the Mamore Forest.
- •It offers a unique vantage point to study the massive southern profile of Binnein Mòr and the eastern end of the Grey Corries, perspectives often missed by those staying on the popular main ridge paths.
- •The hill overlooks the lonely waters of Loch Eilde Mòr to the south, a significant landmark for walkers trekking the remote overland route between Kinlochleven and the Corrour estate.
- •You are far more likely to share the summit with a startled stag than another walker, making it an ideal spot for those who find the nearby 'Ring of Steall' a little too social.
