Sgùrr nan Eugallt

The Sgùrr nan Eugallt stands at 898 meters high, featuring a long rocky ridge and steep slopes that dominate the landscape south of Loch Hourn.

The mountain paths were established during the 19th century by game stalkers who managed the Highland estates and monitored deer populations in the region.

The mountain's name derives from Scottish Gaelic, translating to 'Peak of the Death Streams,' reflecting the local language's connection to geographical features.

Access requires a 20-mile drive on single-track roads to reach the starting point near a ruined cottage, where limited parking space is available.

The true summit lies 600 meters northwest of the marked triangulation point, contrary to what standard topographic maps indicate.
