Sgurr an Lochain

One of seven peaks on the South Glen Shiel ridge, which extends to 9 miles (14 km) in length, and is reported to be one of the finest Scottish mountain ranges, with its height only once dropping below 800m (2625 feet). It is also possible to complete the traverse in one day. Sgurr an Lochain, on the border of Lochaber and Skye and Lochalsh districts of Highland Council, is located in the western half of the ridge, and rises to a height of 1004m (3294 feet). Its name originates from Gaelic and means "peak of the little loch".
