Sgurr nan Gillean OS Walking Map
This digital walking map covers Sgurr nan Gillean — at 964 metres, one of the most northerly and recognisable peaks of the Black Cuillin on the Isle of Skye. Its multi-pronged profile is visible from miles around, and the mountain is one of the most challenging Munros, requiring confident scrambling skills to reach the summit.
What the Map Covers
The map covers Sgurr nan Gillean and the northern Cuillin, including the approaches from the Sligachan Hotel — the classic starting point for most ascents. Key features shown include the Tourist Route via the south-east ridge, the Pinnacle Ridge, the corrie of Coire Riabhach, and the broader Skye landscape around Sligachan and Glen Brittle. The map provides the navigational context needed for the approach walk across the Cuillin foothills from the road.
About the Walk
The standard route on Sgurr nan Gillean is the Tourist Route via the south-east ridge, approached from Sligachan. Despite the name, this route involves significant scrambling — particularly in the final section to the summit — and should not be underestimated. The mountain is graded as a serious scramble and is not suitable for walkers without scrambling experience. In poor visibility, route-finding on the ridge is challenging. Many walkers engage a mountain guide for their first ascent.

We don't offer a printing service, but you can take your map file to a local printing company, or send it by email to a national company to have the file printed to your specification.
More Printing Queries
Can I change the print size when I get the map file printed?
We do not recommend changing the print size. All the map files have been created to be printed at Actual Size. This keeps it easy when it comes to printing, just print it at the size it's supposed to be. If the file is scaled then it could become blurry, blocky or otherwise illegible.

Yes, typically you are licenced to print one copy of the map from the file purchase. If you want more prints please increase the number of items you want to purchase in the Quantity box.
Can I use the map or parts of it online?
No, you can not publish the file online without the correct licence. This can be obtained from OS, please contact us for more information.
