Region: Northwest Highlands – Dundonnell and Fisherfield
Height: 1,058.6m (3,472 ft)
Sgùrr Fiona, “white peak,” is the second Munro of the legendary An Teallach ridge, rising in sculptural symmetry beside Bidein a’Ghlas Thuill. Though slightly lower, it is often considered the more dramatic of the two, perched above sandstone pinnacles and mythic drops that define the ridge’s reputation. The terrain is steep, exposed, and deeply ceremonial—ideal for legacy stewards and wilderness pilgrims seeking elemental clarity. For campervan travellers, access begins at Corrie Hallie, with staging near Dundonnell and proximity to the Cape Wrath Trail.
