Stob Ghabhar

Stob Ghabhar reaches a height of 1090 meters with steep cliffs, long ridges, and deep corries forming its distinct pointed peak in the Scottish Highlands.

The mountain's name originates from Scottish Gaelic, reflecting the practice of shepherds allowing goats on steep cliffs to prevent sheep from dangerous drops.

The mountain area inspired Duncan Ban MacIntyre, who wrote detailed poetry about the local plants, animals, and mountains of the Black Mount region.

The ascent starts at Victoria Bridge car park near Loch Tulla, following the West Highland Way toward Clashgour before climbing the main ridge.

The summit contains a geological junction where gneiss meets Cruachan granite, creating a distinctive formation at the mountain's peak.
