Sgurr Mor

About Sgurr Mor

Sgurr Mor is the highest of the nine Munros making up the Fannichs, the range lying between Loch Fannich and the A835 Ullapool road. The area holds few habitations.

Most of the group are gently sloped and reachable from either side, and walkers commonly take several at once, occasionally the whole set in a single outing. From the Loch Fannich side a bicycle, or permission to use the private road, makes a difference to the distance.

The Sgurr Mor group

7 other listed summits sit in the same prominence group, with Sgurr Mor as the independent hill at its head.

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.
