Mountain Description
Sgurr a' Chaorachain is one of the two hills that flank Scotland's highest road, the Bealach na Ba (Pass of the Cattle), on the route to Applecross. It is part of a range of hills that have been eroded on their E faces to form an impressive line of crags. Sgurr a'Chaorachain lies to the N of the Coire na Ba and is an easy walk from the highest point of the bealach, but it is a more interesting ascent as a scramble from Coire a' Chaorachain

This hill makes a great short walk. The great thing is that there are 3 ways to get to the top, we chose to ascend via coire a' chaorachain which was not particularly difficult. Then descending directly of the steep SE ridge which involved scrambling at times. The hill offers great views and appearance wise is one of the finest in my view.
