Stob a' Bhealach an Sgriodain (or Druim Tarsuinn) is the highest point on a long line of ridges and crests that overlook Cona Glen and Glen Scaddle in Ardgour.

The easiest approach to Stob a' Bhealach an Sgriodain is to cycle along the estate tracks through Cona Glen from Inverscaddle Bay on Loch Linnhe. A fairly easy hike from the head of the glen leads up a grassy slope directly to the summit.

If planning to hike Stob a' Bhealach an Sgriodain with its neighbouring Corbetts, then a shorter approach on foot can be taken from Callop to the north from where a hydro track and right-of-way footpath lead to the foot of the hill.

(There seems to be some debate as to the correct name for this peak, with it remaining un-named on maps. As Druim Tarsuinn means transverse ridge, this name is most likely to apply to the ridge rising between Bealach Scamodale and Bealach an Sgriodain (as suggested on OS maps) and not the summit. Stob a' Bhealach an Sgriodain therefore seems to be a more correct name for this peak. See 'Scottish Hill and Mountain Names' published by th SMT.)
