Sron Odhar

Rising above the deep trench of Glen Tilt, this substantial heathery shoulder is a key landmark on the southern approaches to the Beinn a' Ghlo massif. Though overshadowed by the higher Munro, Carn nan Gabhar, it offers a grandstand perspective of the Tilt’s dramatic curves and the sprawling Forest of Atholl.

• •The name is Gaelic, translating as 'Dun Ridge' or 'Sallow Nose,' likely describing the muted, brownish-grey tones of its heathery slopes which contrast with the bright quartzite found on neighbouring peaks.
• •It serves as a prominent navigational marker for walkers approaching the Beinn a' Ghlo massif from the south, defining the transition from the broad Atholl moorland to the steeper ridges of the high tops.
• •The summit provides a direct, unshielded view across Glen Tilt to the Munro Carn a' Chlamain, a perspective that highlights the sheer scale of the glacial trench separating these two upland areas.
• •Despite standing at nearly 800 metres, its proximity to the giant Carn nan Gabhar means it is often treated by Munro-baggers as little more than a steep, heathery obstacle on the way to the main ridge.
