Sgurr Ghiubhsachain and Sgurr Craobh a'Chaorainn

Callop

Sgurr Ghiubhsachan is a fine craggy mountain, certainly the most impressive peak in Ardgour and Moidart, especially when seen from the Glenfinnan monument at the head of Loch Shiel. Nearby Sgorr Craobh a' Chaorainn is less conspicuous, being hidden by the rocky heights overlooking the loch. The round of these tops from Callop is a grand and quite testing hill walk, which includes tremendous views from the lochside on the way in.

Terrain - Good track for the approach, but the mountains themselves are rocky, rugged and pathless. The return walk is on a boggy path.
