Hiking
At 3,884 feet (1,184 m), Sròn na Lairige is one of the highest points in the UK and is much higher than anything in England or Wales. Yet, despite this, it's a fairly unremarked upon summit due to its lack of Munro status and its proximity to Braeriach, the third highest in the land, to which it owes fealty.
Nevertheless, it commands huge views from its high summit, with Braeriach's super corrie and the Lairig Ghru seen far below.
