About Sgurr an Doire Leathain
Sgurr an Doire Leathain, also given as Sgurr an Doire Leathainn, stands at 1,010 metres south of Glen Shiel in Kintail. It is one of the seven Munros strung along the long South Glen Shiel ridge and is generally walked as part of that continuous line rather than singly. Shiel Bridge is the nearest village.

The Sgurr an Doire Leathain group
One other listed summit sits in the same prominence group, with Sgurr an Doire Leathain as the independent hill at its head.
| Summit | Height | Drop |
|---|---|---|
| Sgurr an Lochain | 1,004 m | 123 m |
Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
