Sgòr Gaoith

Sgòr Gaoith (1118 m) is a remarkable mountain at the western end of the Cairngorms massif. From the summit, you can enjoy spectacular views with sheer cliffs to the east plunging down to Loch Eanaich. However, the scenery encountered on the ascent may seem more ordinary by comparison.

The trail first runs through a pine forest to Coire Ruadh, then up a heather-covered slope. Although the trail may become less obvious after this, the direction remains fairly clear in good weather.
