Sgurr a' Choire Ghlais is a mountain
in the North-west Highlands of Scotland. It lies between Glen Strathfarrar
and Glen Orrin and it is an excellent viewpoint, being the highest mountain in its group - a group which includes the Munros of Sgurr na Ruaidhe, Sgurr Fhuar-thuill and Carn nan Gobhar
. Northwards there is no higher ground apart from the Fannaichs.
It is one of the most difficult hills to reach in Scotland, the shortest route involving a 10-mile approach up Glen Strathfarrar. A bicycle, or permission to drive along the private road up Strathfarrar, may shorten the approach.
