Sgùrr a' Mhadaidh, 'peak of the fox' or dog, is a cluster of four summits on Skye's Black Cuillin ridge, overlooking Coir' a' Mhadaidh. Only the highest, which has a cairn, is within reach of scramblers; the other three need rock-climbing skills and gear. The first ascent may have been made in 1887 by John Mackenzie and H. C. Hart, and the simplest way up is via the gap of An Dorus.
