Sgiath Chùil, Mountain summit in Stirling, Scotland
Sgiath Chùil rises to 921 meters in elevation, featuring a small crag at its peak and steep slopes between Glen Dochart and Glen Lochay.
The mountain was initially misclassified in Sir Hugh Munro's 1891 list, with Meall a' Churain incorrectly designated as the higher point until 1921.
The name Sgiath Chùil derives from Scottish Gaelic language, translating to 'back wing' in English, reflecting the local heritage of naming geographical features.
Climbers can access the summit through two main routes, starting either from Glen Dochart or Glen Lochay, with both paths requiring proper navigation equipment.
The mountain stands within Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, maintaining a prominence of 312 meters above the surrounding Highland landscape.
