Tom na Sroine

About Tom na Sroine

Standing at the southern end of the long ridge leading to Gulvain, this Munro Top offers a rugged approach from Gleann Fionnlighe. The terrain is predominantly steep grass and rock, providing a grandstand view over Loch Eil and the distinctive peaks of the Streap range across the deep valley to the west.

Key Statistics

Find It

Did You Know?

• •The name translates from Gaelic as 'Hill of the Nose,' likely referring to its prominent position at the end of the long, tapering ridge that descends from the main summit of Gulvain.
• •While often bypassed by those aiming straight for the higher ground to the north, the summit is easily reached by following the high crest or via a sustained pull up the pathless slopes from the floor of Gleann Fionnlighe.
• •From the summit cairn, there is a clear, linear view down the length of Gleann Fionnlighe toward the waters of Loch Eil, with the jagged skyline of the Streap-Sgùrr Thuilm ridge dominating the western horizon.
• •Though it stands at over 3,000 feet, its lack of significant re-ascent from the main mass of Gulvain keeps it classified as a Munro Top rather than a standalone Munro.
• •It serves as a minor psychological test for walkers approaching from the south; reaching this summit feels like the end of the climb until you realise the main peak still looms nearly a hundred metres higher and over a kilometre away.
