Sgurra Bhreac, Mountain summit in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Rising 222 meters above sea level, Sgurra Bhreac stands as part of the East Bay Hills on Cape Breton Island, north of Bras d'Or Lake.
The mountain received its official name designation in December 1924, featuring three geodetic survey markers installed before 1921 and upgraded during 1969.
The name Sgurra Bhreac comes from Gaelic language traditions, referring to geographical features with spotted or pitted characteristics in Nova Scotia.
Hikers access the summit through back roads, including Glengarry Road or unmarked paths near Rear Big Pond, approximately 30 kilometers west of Sydney.
The peak offers views spanning across Sydney, Glace Bay, Bras d'Or Lake, plus numerous smaller lakes, ridges, valleys, and surrounding bogs.
