Beinn Sgulaird is a mountain in Argyllshire, which reaches a height of 3,074 feet at its summit, and so it qualifies as a Munro. It is to be found between Glen Creran and Glen Etive in the southern Highlands.
The name 'Beinn Sgulaird' is Gaelic and means "hat-shaped hill", though it is more colloquially known to local shepherds as "the bastard".[1]
The mountain takes the form of a long ridge which runs from south-west to north-east, almost two miles of which lie above 2,600 ft.[2] Hillwalkers commonly traverse the ridge from north to south, as this gives the best views of the Hebrides to the west, in particular the Isle of Mull.[3] While most walkers start from Glen Creran to the west, an ascent from Glen Etive is also possible.[4]
