About Beinn Sgritheall
Beinn Sgritheall rises from the north shore of Loch Hourn, behind the village of Arnisdale at the end of the Glenelg road. It is a Munro and a Marilyn, and its south face drops in steep scree almost to the sea. A north-west top lies 0.5 km away, and Beinn na h-Eaglaise 2.0 km to the east. Ladhar Bheinn in Knoydart, the nearest higher hill, stands 8.8 km to the south across the loch.
The usual ascent starts in Arnisdale. A path climbs the steep slopes above the village to the bealach east of the summit, and the east ridge leads on to the top. Some walkers go up by the west ridge from Loch Bheag and descend to Arnisdale.
The scree on the upper slopes is steep and loose. The views make up for it, across the Sound of Sleat to Skye and over Loch Hourn into Knoydart.
Beinn Sgritheall is 974 m (3,196 ft) high with 500 m of prominence. It is in Highland, Scotland. It is the 205th highest of the 1,458 summits Peakify lists in Highland. The nearest summits are Beinn Sgritheall NW Top (0.5 km), Beinn Sgritheall East Top (1.0 km) and Beinn a' Chapuill (2.2 km).
