Standing above the heads of Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa on the Isle of Arran, Cir Mhor is an impressive Corbett peak. This rocky little mountain has cliffs north and south of its summit, the Rosa Pinnacle on its south face is most imposing.

With having Corbett peaks on all the ridges leading from Cir Mhor, this peak is most likely to be bagged on a hillwalk that also takes in other summits. A traverse of the ridges east of Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa is a fine outing as is the Glen Rosa Horseshoe, both of these have some fine rock-scrambling options. For the hillwalker or runner, the west facing slope is fine, but the east face which travels to the Saddle below Goatfell will require a bit of scrambling or a detour altogether !
