The Sgurr nan Ceathramhnan group

8 other listed summits sit in the same prominence group, with Sgurr nan Ceathramhnan 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.
