Beinn Sgulaird is a Scottish mountain located between Glen Creran and Glen Etive in the southern highlands. It has a height of 937 m (3074 ft) and is classed as a Munro. Its Gaelic name means "hat shaped hill", though it is more colloquially known to local shepherds as "the bastard".

The mountain takes the form of a long ridge which runs from southwest to northeast, three kilometres of which lie above 800 m.The Munros (SMC Guide), Donald Bennett et al, ISBN 0-907521-13-4] Hillwalkers commonly traverse the ridge from north to south, as this gives the best views of the Hebrides to the west, in particular the Isle of Mull.The Munros - Scotland's Highest Mountains, Cameron McNeish, ISBN 0-947778-50-8] While most walkers start from Glen Creran to the west, an ascent from Glen Etive is also possible.
