Summary

Sgùrr a' Bhac Chaolais is thirty metres short of Munro status and is very much the forgotten peak on the great range along the south side of Glen Shiel. Nonetheless it gives a good hillwalk with views over its more famous neighbours. Until 2012 the summit was regarded as a Corbett jointly with Buidhe Bheinn, but a resurvey revealed that the latter was the higher summit and thus the Corbett.
