Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean

Once a Munro, Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean was demoted to Corbett in 2011. Though lower than nearby Moruisg, it’s the more characterful of the pair.

For many years, Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean stood in the list of Munros with a recorded height of 915m. In 2011 Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean was re-measured and found to have a height of just under 914m, therefore moved into the Corbett list.

Regardless of list status, Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean is a fine hill and much more interesting than Moruisg, its broad crested Munro neighbour to which it is connected to via a long grass-covered crest.

There are various ways to gain Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean's summit, for instance directly from Craig to the west via some steep clambering, or from Pollan Buidhe up a fine stalkers path.

The most popular approach up Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean is to combine it on a circular route with nearby Moruisg starting from the roadside near Loch Sgamhain.
