Sgurr a' Chadha Dheirg

Tucked away in the eastern Fannichs, this rugged 868m spur forms a dramatic high-altitude shoulder on the ridge leading to Sgùrr nan Each. It offers a sense of remote wilderness, with steep, stony slopes that overlook the deep corries typical of this wild North West Highland range.

• •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as the 'Peak of the Red Pass', referring to the narrow, steep track or 'cadha' nearby that takes on a reddish hue from the local stone.
• •The summit provides an exceptional perspective of the massive eastern face of Sgùrr nan Clach Geala, one of the most imposing sights in the Fannichs range.
• •Looking south from the ridge, you have an uninterrupted view across the long reach of Loch Fannich towards the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Torridon giants.
• •Despite its height and dramatic profile, its classification as a Tump means it is frequently bypassed by hikers focused solely on the higher Munro summits neighbouring it.
