RegionKnoydart & Loch Quoich

Sgùrr Mòr, the 'big peak', is a steep, rocky mountain between Loch Quoich and Glen Kingie, on the edge of the Rough Bounds of Knoydart. It's counted among the most remote Munros, usually reached from Strathan at the head of Loch Arkaig by crossing a pass there and back. Grassy ridges spread out from its summit crest, which carries a large cairn.
