Sgor GaoithThe highest of the peaks along the ridge east of Glen Feshie, Sgor Gaoith rises to a height of 1118m (3668 feet) and is situated in the northern Cairngorms, west of Loch Einich in the Highlands. Below the summit two fetures dominate the skyline, a sharp pinnacle called "A' Chailleach" (old woman) and the nearby pillar "Am Bodach" (old man).
Originates from the Gaelic, Sgor Gaoith means "windy peak".
