Providing the memorable backdrop to The Inn at Ardgour this is easily the shapeliest peak in the area, north west of the inn with Maclean's Towel falling down its front from Coire Dubh. It may be slightly lower than Meall Dearg Choire nam Muc, two kilometers to the west but commands superb views over Loch Linnhe to Glencoe.

The flat area in front of the hill on which North Corran lies is a raised beach left behind when the glaciers retreated after the last ice age around fourteen thousand years ago. It is pock marked by kettle holes (formed when large ice blocks became embedded in the sand and gravel of the new beach). A direct approach to the hill across this area will take you to the foot of the waterfall alongside which ascent to the corrie is steep and strenuous, it is, however the only way into Coire Dubh.

The more rewarding ascent is about two kilometers further north along the A861. Pass the old burial ground, where the Maclean's of Ardgour are interred, to a cattle grid. Access to the open hill can be gained along the north side of the burn below Beinn na Cille; the name often wrongly attributed to Scurr na h-Eanchainne. Cross to the south bank of the burn and climb steeply up the ben beside it but before reaching the col between the two hills turn west then south up to the sharp (Scurr means pointed peak) summit of Scurr na h-Eanchainne. Approx. 2hrs, 3kms.

To vary your descent, follow the rim of Coire Dubh towards the top of the massif, Meall Dearg Choire nam Muc. From there keep the cliffs to your west and follow the rough hill track down to Loch nan Gabhar and Sallachan. There are three routes back to the inn; following the beach along Loch Linnhe can vary the obvious route northeast along the A861. Alternatively pass behind Sallachan Farm and along the west drive behind Ardgour House, through the old cast iron gates and left along the East drive to the A861 north of the inn. 2hrs. 30m, 6 km.
