Sgurr nan Conbhairean

About Sgurr nan Conbhairean

Sgurr nan Conbhairean is a dome-shaped hill north of Loch Cluanie and south of Glen Affric, in the Northwest Highlands. It forms one of a trio of Munros with A' Chralaig and Mullach Fraoch-choire.

Its Gaelic name translates as peak of the dog-men, most likely a reference to handlers of hunting hounds.

The Sgurr nan Conbhairean group

6 other listed summits sit in the same prominence group, with Sgurr nan Conbhairean 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.
