Sgùrr a' Ghreadaidh, Mountain peak in Isle of Skye, Scotland.
The northern summit of the Black Cuillin ridge reaches 973 meters in elevation and features steep rocky slopes composed of gabbro rock.
John Mackenzie and William Newton Tribe completed the first documented climb of Sgùrr a' Ghreadaidh in 1870, marking a milestone in Scottish mountaineering.
The mountain's name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'peak of torment', reflecting the demanding nature of its ascent through the Highland landscape.
