An t-Sail

Rising above the remote waters of Loch Eilde Mòr, this rugged spur marks the southern gateway to the formidable Grey Corries. It offers a grounded perspective of the Mamores to the south and a striking, close-quarter view of the steep, quartzite-shattered slopes of Binnein Mòr and Sgùrr Choinnich Beag.

• •The name is Gaelic for 'The Heel,' a common descriptive term in the Highlands for a hill that forms the terminal point of a larger ridge or a protruding spur of land.
• •Tucked beneath the higher summits of the Grey Corries, the top provides an exceptional longitudinal view of the Black Water Reservoir stretching away towards the remote wilderness of Rannoch Moor.
• •It sits in a strategic position for walkers approaching from Kinlochleven, acting as a final steep obstacle before reaching the high-level traverse of the neighbouring Munros.
• •While the peaks above are often lost in the mist, this lower summit frequently remains clear, offering a grandstand view of the 'Great Trough' of the Lairig Leacach pass.
• •Most walkers treat this hill as a mere handrail on their way to more famous neighbours, meaning you are far more likely to share the summit with a curious red deer than another human.
