Sgùrr a' Choire Ghlais, the 'peak of the grey-green corrie', is the shapely pyramid at the heart of the Strathfarrar Munros, between Glen Strathfarrar and Glen Carron. Its top is a broad, flat plateau with two big cairns and a trig point. The cairn to the north-west of the trig point is probably the highest spot, and the views run right round the circuit.
