Sgairneach Mhòr, Mountain summit in Cairngorms National Park, Scotland
Sgairneach Mhòr reaches an elevation of 991 meters with a prominence of 182 meters, featuring extensive southern slopes and two ridges extending north and east.
The mountain belongs to the group of seven Munros near the Pass of Drumochter, which have long served as natural landmarks for travelers crossing the highlands.
The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Big Rocky Hillside', reflecting the physical characteristics of the mountain's substantial stone-covered terrain.
Hikers can access the summit through a designated trail starting at Drumochter Pass at 462 meters, crossing a railway and following the eastern ridge.
The summit plateau contains an Ordnance Survey triangulation point surrounded by a stone wind shelter, with views toward the Ben Alder mountain group.
