Sron na Saobhaidhe East Top

A subsidiary summit overlooking Glen Strathfarrar in the Northwest Highlands, positioned on a remote ridge above Loch Monar. The east top sits at 522 metres, forming part of a wild, forested landscape where Scots pine and birch cling to steep slopes. Its Tump classification reflects genuine topographic significance in challenging terrain rarely visited outside stalking season.

• •The name 'Sron na Saobhaidhe' derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'sron' meaning 'nose' or 'promontory' and 'saobhaidhe' likely relating to 'saobh', meaning den or lair, suggesting this ridge was known as a place where animals sheltered.
• •Glen Strathfarrar, which this summit overlooks, remained one of Scotland's most inaccessible glens until the hydroelectric schemes of the 1950s improved access, though a locked gate still controls vehicle entry during much of the year.
• •The summit lies within one of the most extensive remnants of Caledonian pine forest in Scotland, where ancient trees have survived centuries of clearance that stripped most Highland glens bare.
