Sgòr Gaoith, Mountain summit in Cairngorms, Scotland.
The eastern side of Sgòr Gaoith features vertical cliffs dropping down to Loch Einich, while the western slopes display gentle heather-covered terrain.
Sgòr Gaoith received its classification as a Munro in 1891 when Sir Hugh Munro published his list of Scottish mountains above 3,000 feet.
The mountain's name originates from Scottish Gaelic, translating to 'windy peak', reflecting the strong winds that frequently sweep across its summit.
Hikers can access the summit via two main routes from Glen Feshie, with the northern path starting through pine forests and the southern route passing Carn Ban Mor.
The summit marks a stark geological contrast, where granite formations create a natural boundary between the eastern cliffs and western moorland.
