Sgor na h-Ulaidh is a mountain in Argyllshire, which reaches a height of 3,261 feet at its summit, and so it qualifies as a Munro. It stands to the south of the village of Glencoe.
The name 'Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh' (also written 'Sgòr na h-Ulaidh') means "Peak of the Treasure".
The mountain cannot be seen from the main A82 road as it is hidden behind Aonach Dubh a'Ghlinne.
Ascent
The usual route of ascent is from Glen Coe, something over a mile west of Loch Achtriochtan. A track on the west of Allt na Muidhe is followed and after half a mile the burn is crossed. The east side of the burn is then followed for about two miles until a turn east is made to climb to the ridge just north of the top of Stob an Fhuarain. This peak is climbed, then the steep, rocky ridge is followed trending south-west to the summit of Sgùrr na h-Ulaidh.
A route that avoids the steep ground on the north side of the mountain can be made from the southern Glen Etive side.
