Beinn Sgulaird or Beinn Sguiliaird [2] is a mountain in the Lorn region of the Scottish Highlands, between Glen Creran and Glen Etive. It has a height of 937 m (3074 ft) and is classed as a Munro. The mountain takes the form of a long ridge which runs from southwest to northeast, three kilometres of which lie above 800 m. [3] Hillwalkers commonly traverse the ridge from north to south, as this gives the best views of the Hebrides to the west, in particular the Isle of Mull. [4] While most walkers start from Glen Creran to the west, an ascent from Glen Etive is also possible. [5]
