Hiking
The summit of Sgùrr na Sgine translates to 'Knife peak'. Whilst not quite as impressive as its neighbour, The Saddle, when walked together, they make a fine outing in the mountains. Remote and rocky, upon your return to the valley floor, the Gaelic name of the peak will make sense, as it's probably the most distinctive hilltop on that side of the road.

Not as sharp and pointy as it's neighbour, but still a fine mountain.
