Beinn Sgritheall

Beinn Sgritheall rises to 974 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and a curved crest that runs parallel to Loch Hourn's north shore.

The mountain gained recognition when Sir Hugh Munro, founder of the Scottish Mountaineering Club, noted its summit views among Scotland's finest natural perspectives.

The mountain belongs to the Munro category, a classification of Scottish peaks exceeding 914 meters that attracts numerous mountaineers throughout the year.

Access to the summit begins from Arnisdale village, requiring navigation through single-track roads and demanding a high level of physical preparation.

The summit platform allows visibility of over 100 named peaks, including distant islands like Jura, Rùm, Mull, and the mountains of Knoydart and Skye.
