Background
Description
The mountain's name translates from the Gaelic as Peak of the Merchants or Pedlars. The name may be associated with a main routeway between east and west Scotland passing just to the north, Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean being a significant landmark for traders and travellers. Initially classed as a Corbett, Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean was reclassified as a Munro in 1981 after a height of 915 m, obtained by aerial photogrammetry for the metric revision, appeared on the Ordnance Survey map. In 2009, a survey by The Munro Society obtained an accurate height of 913.43 metres, reverting the mountain's status to Corbett.
