Just outwith the southern fringes of the Rough Bounds of Knoydart, Sgùrr Thuilm is the easterly of two Munro summits standing on undulating crests of the high ground above Glen Pean.

The easiest approach to Sgùrr Thuilm begins by the visitor centre in Glenfinnan, from where a tarred road heads northwards through Glen Finnan for 4km. Beyond this, decent paths head up grass-covered slopes of Sgùrr Thuilm's south-western and onto crests topped with a line of fence-posts which are followed to Sgùrr nan Coireachan and around the Corryhully Horseshoe.

A fine alternative and much less trodded route begins by Strathan at the western end of Loch Arkaig, from where forestry tracks lead into Glen Pean. Grass-covered rugged mountain shoulders lead directly up from the River Pean to the Munro peaks of Sgùrr Thuilm and Sgùrr nan Coireachan. With a couple of significant river crossings needed, this route shouldn't be attempted if river levels are high.
