Background
Description
Sgiath Chùil qualifies as a Munro, at a height of 921 m, and with prominence of 312 m, as a Marilyn. In Sir Hugh Munro's original list of peaks in Scotland with a height over 3000 ft that was published in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal in September 1891, Sgiath Chùil 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.
