Standing above the head of Glen Kingie, Sgùrr Mòr is a shapely peak with grassy ridges spreading out from its summit crest.

Most hillwalkers will climb Sgùrr Mòr with its Corbett neighbour Sgùrr an Fhuarain from Glen Dessary to the south. From this direction there are also options to add in another peak or two, Sgùrr Cos na Breachd-laoigh and Fraoch Bheinn being the most obvious.

A longer and more interesting approach heads in from Glen Kingie biking along a forest track to the foot of the coire between Gairich and Sgùrr an Fhuarain, from where stalkers paths travel up much of the hillsides.

An epic challenge traversing Sgùrr Mòr and the peaks and ridges of the Rough Bounds of Knoydart while hiking a circular route around Loch Quoich makes for a long day - or two if you fancy a bivvi !
