Sgurr Coire nan Eiricheallach

Reaching an elevation of 891m, this rugged Tump in the Grampian region offers a demanding, pathless ascent typical of the wilder Scottish Highlands. Its character is defined by steep, rocky flanks and a sharp summit crest providing exceptional vantage points over the deep waters of Loch Hourn and the Knoydart interior.

• •The Gaelic name translates as the 'peak of the corrie of the tributes' or 'contributions', likely referencing an old system of tithing or communal grazing rights associated with the hanging corrie beneath the summit.
• •Standing at 891m, the hill sits on a high-level ridge that overlooks the dramatic glacial trough of Loch Hourn, offering a specific view of the jagged silhouette of Ladhar Bheinn to the west.
• •Reaching the top requires navigating rough, trackless terrain that ensures the summit cairn remains a quiet spot, even when the more famous neighbouring Munros are seeing heavy foot traffic.
