Sgurr Dearg, Gaelic for Red Peak (OS grid NG444215) measures 986 m/3235 ft, and its noteworthy Inaccessible Pinnacle, is the second highest peak (Sgurr Alasdair being the highest) in the Cuillin range. Located in the main Cuillin ridge on the Isle of Skye at the junction of Coire Lagan, Coire na Banachdich and Coir' Uisg and has the reputation of being the most difficult of all of the Munro's to climb. The last 50 m/150 ft must be rock climbed and the pinnacle, unlike much of the Cuillin range, is of basalt making it slippery when wet - frequently the case given the micro-climate of Skye.

For the Sgurr Dearg Munro we've chosen a handsome hand woven muted check of Harris Tweed of heathered shades of medium blue, deep grey and loden-y green with cream is set off by brown bridle leather fasteners and strap and chromed brass hardware to mirror the topography which the Cuillin and Skye can offer visitors.

An unyielding statement of national pride and heritage can be found on the reverse of each Munro bag - the label authenticating the fabric as issued by the Harris Tweed Authority.
