Rising dramatically above the southern shores of Loch Slighachan on the Isle of Skye, Glamaig is a striking, cone-shaped mountain cloaked in loose scree. Its summit, known as Sgùrr Mhairi, crowns this distinctive dome, offering commanding views over the surrounding landscape. Though not among the jagged peaks of the nearby Cuillin range, Glamaig's steep, symmetrical profile gives it a bold and imposing presence, making it one of the most recognisable hills on Skye.

Although Glamaig can be climbed directly from Sligachan, a more enjoyable experience is to combine it with nearby Beinn Dearg Mhòr and Marso on a circular route of fine ridge-walking.

Taking place in mid-July is the legendary Glamaig Hill Race, a gruelling direct ascent and descent from the Sligachan Inn.
