Beinn Sgritheall lives up to it's name (hill of the scree) with a tough push on scree and boulders to reach its high crest. The summit is not much further on, from where there are terrific views in all directions due to the hill's isolated position.
End the day off with some fine food and quality ale at the Glenelg Inn.
