Sron Chona Choirein

About Sron Chona Choirein

This prominent Munro Top forms the southern shoulder of Stob Binnein, overlooking the deep Inverlochlarig Glen. While often bypassed for the main summits, it offers a grounded, impressive perspective of Stob Binnein’s massive southern face and clear views across the glen to the rugged profiles of Cruach Ardrain and Beinn a' Chroin.

Did You Know?

• •The name translates from Gaelic as 'The Nose of the Little Corrie of the Dogs,' with the 'Sròn' referring to the ridge's sharp, prow-like profile as it drops away into the corrie below.
• •It is most frequently visited as the final high point on a traverse of Ben More and Stob Binnein, marking the beginning of the long, steep descent towards the road end at Inverlochlarig.
• •The summit provides an exceptional vantage point for studying the south face of its parent peak, Stob Binnein, revealing a complex series of crags and gullies that are hidden from the usual northern approach.
• •To the south-east, walkers can look straight down the length of Loch Doine and Loch Voil, while the western view is framed by the steep slopes of Ben Tulachan.
• •The final descent from this ridge to the glen floor is famously unforgiving on the joints; it is a three-hundred-metre drop over a very short distance that tests the structural integrity of even the sturdiest knees.
