Possibly the least distinctive mountain overlooking Glen Torridon, Sgòrr nan Lochain Uaine is the high point and abrupt ending of a long and wide lochan-pitted moorland running south from Sgùrr Dubh.
Compared to its Munro neighbour Beinn Liath Mhor, which stands on the opposite side of Lochan Uaine, Sgòrr nan Lochan Uaine is a fairly infrequented mountain. There are no obvious paths to the summit, giving a feeling of wilderness and testing navigation skills.
