View of Loch Coruisk

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this ridge height there is a spectacular view over Loch a'Choire Riabhaich and Loch Coruisk to the sea, framed by the typical Skye and wonderful mountain panorama. In the other direction, the Sligachan Valley opens up with views of the rugged slopes of the Black Cullins.

View from Sgùrr na Stri of Loch Coruisk and the Cuillin Ridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Few summit viewpoints rival Sgùrr na Stri. Despite its diminutive 1,620-foot (494 m) height, it reveals a vista that most peaks many times its size can't match. The prospect of the Cuillin Ridge rising above Loch Coruisk is rightly celebrated as one of the greatest views in Britain. However, Sgùrr na Stri is not easily attained. Your best options are the scrambles up from the coast or a long but spectacular walk down Glen Sligachan from its namesake hotel.

Trail Reviews

October 27, 2025, Sligachan to Sgurr Na Stri

Possibly the best walk ive been on with an amazing final view

Jo | The Wandering Wildflower

April 14, 2022, Sligachan to Loch Coruisk viewpoint and back

Sadly we didn't get the views on this walk! Very wet, misty and cold but a great effort by Holly (who's 10).

May 4, 2024, Isle of Skye Hiking - Day 1 Sligachan to LochCoruisk

Stunning couple of days out over the Bank Holiday weekend! Great way to kick off the first wild camp of the year!
