Sgùrr Eilde Mòr is a mountain in the Mamores range of Inverness-shire. It reaches a height of 3,314 feet at its summit, and so it qualifies as a Munro. The mountain stands four miles north-east of Kinlochleven. It is a steep, conical peak of scree and quartzite boulders, capped with a layer of schist.
Its name means "Big Peak of the Hind".
This is a popular climb with hillwalkers and, along with many of the Mamores, it is most commonly climbed from Kinlochleven. The usual route is by way of a stalker's path which leads to a col at Coire an Lochan, and then by either the south or the west ridge. Both routes involve an ascent of steep, bouldery terrain.
