Background
Description
Stob Ghabhar is well seen from the east and is a familiar sight to motorists on the A82 road as it skirts the western edge of Rannoch Moor. The mountains eastern corries formed by the headwaters of the River Ba look impressive from this direction as does the neighbouring mountain of Stob a' Choire Odhair with which Stob Ghabhar is usually climbed. It reaches a height of 1,089.2 m and qualifies as a Munro and a Marilyn. The mountain's name translates from Scottish Gaelic as "goats' peak". Goats were often encouraged by shepherds on mountains with precipitous cliffs such as Stob Ghabhar to keep sheep away from the steep drops.
