Sgùrr Alasdair, Mountain summit in Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Sgùrr Alasdair reaches an elevation of 992 meters, making it the highest peak in the Black Cuillin range and the tallest mountain on the Isle of Skye.
The mountain received its name after Alexander Nicolson accomplished the first documented climb in 1873, replacing its former local designation as Sgurr Biorach.
The peak stands as the fifth most prominent mountain across the British Isles, representing a significant geographical feature in Scottish mountaineering traditions.
Access to Sgùrr Alasdair begins at Glen Brittle parking area, with the Great Stone Chute serving as the primary route toward the summit.
