The Sgurr na Sgine group
One other listed summit sits in the same prominence group, with Sgurr na Sgine as the independent hill at its head.
| Summit | Height | Drop |
|---|---|---|
| Sgurr na Sgine NW Top | 942 m | 21 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.
