Marilyn · Glen Coe & Lochaber
Sgurr Dhomhuill Mor
The name means 'big sharp peak' in Gaelic. At 713m this is a substantial hill on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, Britain's most westerly mainland point. The prominence of at least 150m means the summit stands clear of its neighbours, offering commanding views across Moidart and Ardnamurchan.
Gaelic: “sharp, rocky peak, big” · Pronunciation: skoor more

Standard route
Standard route
A hill walk of moderate to high difficulty through the dramatic Lochaber landscape with views to surrounding peaks. The upper slopes steepen near the 713m summit. Allow 3-5 hours for the round trip.
Terrain
Rough ground typical of Lochaber — a mix of rock, peat and grass. The terrain is more demanding than the height suggests.
In winter
Winter brings snow and ice that makes Lochaber hills serious propositions. The wet climate means ice forms readily. Microspikes are useful throughout winter.
This hill is in the Glen Coe SAIS forecast area. Check SAIS forecasts in winter (December–April).
