Sgùrr nan Ceathramhnan

Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. It lies between Glen Affric and Glen Elchaig, some 30 kilometres east of Kyle of Lochalsh. With a height of 1,151 metres it is classed as a Munro and ranked as the third highest mountain north of the Great Glen .

E.J. Yeaman in his Handbook of the Scottish Hills deems Ceathreamhnan the fourth-most difficult Scottish Munro to climb, taking into account its remoteness and its height. It is a massive mountain which covers 24 square miles and stands many kilometres from the nearest public road, it has a tent like appearance and throws down many long ridges to the valleys. It has five subsidiary “tops”, three of these stand on the northern ridge, they are Stuc Bheag , Stuc Mòr and Stob Fraoch Choire . The Western Top is also regarded as a "top". Stob Coire na Cloiche on the eastern ridge was removed as a Munro Top. In addition to this Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan has three tops which have been deleted from the list over the years, making a total of eight distinct summits on the mountain in addition to the highest point. Its outlier to the north east, Mullach na Dheiragain, is regarded as a separate Munro.
