In the vast rolling landscapes that make up the Monadhliath range, Càrn Sgulain is but one of the many grass covered and rather featureless hummocks in the area. Having a height of a shade over 3,000ft, scrapes it into Munro's tables and encourages hillwalkers to visit.

Most hillwalkers will hike up Càrn Sgulain in a route combining nearby A' Chailleach and possibly Càrn Dearg to the west. The more determined can continue on to the Munro Geal Càrn west of Càrn Dearg, or to the Corbett Càrn an Fhreiceadain to the east.

Routes to Càrn Sgulain begin on estate tracks from above Newtonmore and continue up fairly pathless slopes. Higher up terrain is delightful underfoot, with fence-posts to aid navigation.
