Hiking
Sgurr nan Coireachan is a 956m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. The easiest approach to this Munro is to cross under the famous 'Harry Potter' railway viaduct at Glenfinnan (by pure fluke we were lucky to enjoy the steam train passing as we walked through). The ridge walking in this area is superb. Not technically challenging but thoroughly enjoyable. Views to Knoydart Munros are utterly outstanding.

Running
Sgùrr nan Coireachan is one of the pair of Munros north of Glenfinnian. It stands at 956 m and offers brilliant wild views of the surrounding mountains and lochs.
Normally run as a loop from the south, taking in the other Munro Sgùrr Thuilm and the great ridge between them.

Fine rough and rugged peak, not unlike the rough bounds.
