Sgurr na h-Eanchainne

Rising above the surrounding landscape to over 730 metres, this is a rugged and substantial peak characteristic of the Scottish west coast. The terrain is primarily steep, pathless grass and rock, leading to a sprawling summit. It offers a remote, quiet atmosphere and an exceptional perspective over the nearby sea lochs.

• •The name Sgurr na h-Eanchainne is Gaelic for 'Peak of the Brains'. This unusual title is likely a reference to the grey, convoluted appearance of the summit crags when viewed from the valleys below.
• •The summit offers a commanding and earned view across the waters of Loch Linnhe to the massive south-western face of Ben Nevis and the distant peaks of the Mamores.
• •Despite the name, reaching the summit usually requires a strong pair of legs and a tolerance for steep Highland grass rather than any specific intellectual effort.
