Sgùrr Fhuaran

Sgùrr Fhuaran rises to 1067 meters with steep western slopes that descend at angles over 30 degrees toward Glen Shiel in the Scottish Highlands.

The mountain's name potentially refers to 'Peak of wells or springs' due to the numerous water sources that flow from its slopes into surrounding valleys.

This mountain belongs to the Five Sisters of Kintail, where according to folklore, seven sisters were transformed into mountains by a wizard awaiting suitors.

The ascent starts at sea level in Glen Shiel, following a grass path that leads to a steep climb along the western ridge near the A87 road.

Four distinct ridges extend from the summit, including a narrow eastern path that provides an alternative climbing route from Gleann Lichd valley.
