Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'Sgurr' meaning a rocky peak or pointed summit, while 'achd' likely indicates a field or level place, and 'Ire' may refer to the west or a directional element – an unusual combination suggesting a western rocky height with flatter ground.
  • At 572 metres, it falls just short of the 610-metre threshold for Corbett status, placing it among Scotland's middle-tier hills that see far fewer visitors than their more classified neighbours.
