Sgùrr Dhòmhnuill

Sgùrr Dhòmhnuill is a mountain peak in the western Scottish Highlands rising to approximately 888 meters above sea level. A circular stone shelter sits at the summit and steep slopes define the approach from multiple directions.

The mountain received its Gaelic name in the context of Scottish highland culture and is classified as a Corbett peak within the British mountain ranking system. This classification reflects centuries of Scottish surveying and peak documentation traditions.

The peak carries a Scottish Gaelic name rooted in local tradition and language heritage of the Highlands. Visitors encounter landscapes shaped by centuries of highland life and pastoral use.

Multiple hiking routes lead to the summit with the main starting point northeast of Strontian and maps essential for navigation. Allow adequate time for the ascent as steep slopes demand physical effort and weather in the area changes quickly.

The peak has a prominence of approximately 873 meters meaning it stands as an almost independent summit and projects noticeably from surrounding terrain. This significant prominence makes it visually striking even though higher mountains exist nearby.
