Sron a' Choire Ghairbh

Rising steeply above the Great Glen, this Munro is defined by the vast, scoop-shaped Coire Glas on its eastern flank. A superbly engineered stalker's path eases the ascent from Kilfinnan, leading to a sprawling summit plateau with commanding views across Loch Lochy toward the Grey Corries and Ben Nevis.

• •The name is Scottish Gaelic for 'the nose of the rough corrie,' describing the prominent ridge that bounds the deep, craggy bowl of Coire Glas on its eastern side.
• •It is most commonly climbed in tandem with its neighbour, Meall na Teanga; the two are often referred to as the 'Loch Lochy Munros' and are linked by the high col of Cam Bhealach.
• •Coire Glas, the mountain’s massive eastern hollow, is the site of a significant pumped-storage hydroelectric scheme, intended to use the elevation drop to Loch Lochy for large-scale energy storage.
• •The summit panorama offers a clear perspective of the Great Glen fault line, with particularly fine views of the Grey Corries, the Aonachs, and the distant peaks of Knoydart to the west.
• •The Kilfinnan zigzag path is so perfectly engineered for ponies that it maintains a relentlessly steady gradient, proving that Victorian stalkers had far more patience for long, looping detours than the modern hillwalker.
