About An Sgorr
Tucked onto the southern edge of the vast Moine Mhòr plateau, this high Munro Top provides a rugged overlook of the remote upper reaches of Glen Feshie. It offers a sharper character than the rolling granite landscape to the north, marking a distinct break in the high-altitude wilderness of the Cairngorms.

Did You Know?
- •Derived from Scottish Gaelic, the name simply translates as 'The Peak' or 'The Sharp Rock,' describing its position as a prominent point on the rim of the plateau.
- •The summit is frequently visited as part of a long expedition from Glen Feshie, usually paired with its parent Munro, Monadh Mòr, and the neighbouring Beinn Bhrotain.
- •Its position provides a clear, unencumbered view south-west across the Moine Mhòr toward the distinctive profiles of the Atholl hills and the distant Ben Alder forest.
- •Despite reaching over 3,000 feet, it remains a Munro Top rather than a full Munro due to its limited re-ascent from the main plateau of Monadh Mòr.
- •It is the kind of place where the weather doesn't just change; it decides to remind you exactly how far you are from the nearest road.
