Sgòr An Lochain Uaine

Sgor an Lochain Uaine is a Scottish mountain in the Cairngorms. According to some estimates, it is Scotland's fifth highest peak (and the United Kingdom). It is the third highest point in the Cairngorms' western massif, located between Braeriach and Cairn Toul on the western side of the Lairig Ghru pass. The Scottish Mountaineering Club revised the tables in 1997, promoting them to Munro status. Sgor an Lochain Uaine is a remote mountain, with all routes to the summit taking at least two days by Scottish standards. It is usually climbed in conjunction with other peaks: if approaching from the south, it can be combined with Cairn Toul and The Devil's Point; if approaching from the north, it must first pass through Braeriach.


An Lochan Uaine the lochan in the corrie on the north-east side of the peak, is the mountain's name. Its name means "the peak of the little green loch" in English. The Angel's Peak is the name given to it by Alexander Copland, a founding member of the Cairngorm Club, in the 19th century, in contrast to the nearby The Devil's Point, as shown on Ordnance Survey maps.
