Sgiath Chuil is a mountain situated in the southern highlands of Scotland, it stands within Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park on its northern border, approximately 6.75 miles west of Killin.

Overview

Sgiath Chuil qualifies at a height of 921 metres (3022 feet) as a Munro and with prominence of 312 metres (1024 feet) as a Marilyn. In Sir Hugh Munro's original list of peaks in Scotland with a height over 3,000 feet, that was published in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal in September 1891, Sgiath Chuil was listed as a top with Meall a'Churain listed as the mountain and higher point. This error was corrected when the first revision of the list was published in 1921.
