At the Summit

The summit features a prominent cairn, which is a favourite spot for a photo op. There’s also a panoramic viewpoint, ideal for taking a breather (and multiple selfies).

Terrain & Geology

Rocky and grassy; a touch boggy in places so good boots are more than just a fashion statement!

Sgurr nan Each is primarily composed of metamorphic rock, predominantly schist, which has been shaped by glacial activity over millennia, giving rise to its rugged appearance and steep slopes.

Views & Scenery

From the summit, one can see the stunning Loch Lochy, the Great Glen, and beyond to the majestic peaks of the Nevis range.

History & Heritage

Name Origin

Sgurr nan Each translates to 'Peak of the Horses' in Gaelic, possibly referencing the steep nature of the terrain.

Historical Significance

The area is steeped in history, being part of the traditional lands of the clan Cameron, and features prominently in local folklore.

Getting There & Facilities

Parking

Parking can be found at the small layby near the Drumfearn Approach, but spaces fill up quicker than a mid-summer BBQ grill.

Public Transport

The nearest bus service runs from Fort William to Spean Bridge; please check local service times as they're more fickle than a cat’s mood.
