Sgùrr a' Mhaoraich

The Sgùrr a' Mhaoraich reaches an elevation of 1027 meters, featuring steep rocky flanks on its northern face and gentler grassy slopes on its southern side.

Originally named Sgùrr a' Moraire to reference the landowner, the mountain received its current name from the Gaelic word maorach, which translates to shellfish.

The mountain belongs to the category of Munros, Scottish peaks exceeding 3000 feet, which attracts numerous mountaineers seeking to complete all summits in this classification.

Hikers can access the summit via a stalker's path from Loch Quoich, following the Bac nan Canaichean ridge to reach the subsidiary peak at 891 meters.

From the summit cairn, visitors observe an adjacent outcrop 30 meters north that maintains the exact same elevation as the main peak.
