Sgùrr na Sgine is a Munro and Marilyn with a height of 946 metres (3104 feet). Though a fine mountain in its own right, it is overshadowed by its near neighbour The Saddle, regarded as one of the finest mountains in Scotland. Sgùrr na Sgine is not well seen from the A87 road to the north east. The best view from valley level is from the remote country to the south west. It looks particularly fine from the top of the Mam Barrisdale pass from where it takes on a more dramatic appearance than The Saddle. The mountain's name translates from the Gaelic as Peak of the Knife. This is thought to refer to a wall of rock beneath the summit on its eastern flank which takes on a blade like appearance from some angles.
