Glen Carron lies to the north and Glen Shiel to the south. The west ridge of Lurg Mhòr curves round to the north before rising to Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich, a separate Munro.

Munro
A Munro (; ) is defined as a mountain in Scotland with a height over , and which is on the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) official list of Munros; there is no explicit topographical prominence requirement. The best known Munro is Ben Nevis (Beinn Nibheis), the highest mountain in the British Isles at 4,411 ft (1,345 m). Munros are named after Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet (1856–1919), who produced the first list of such hills, known as ''Munro's Tables'', in 1891. Also included were what Munro considered lesser peaks, now known as Munro Tops, which are also over 3,000 feet but are lower than the nearby primary mountain. The publication of the original list is usually considered to be the Epoch (reference date), epoch event of modern peak bagging.

Lurg Mhòr East Ridge
Lurg () is a barony situated in the north of County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. To its south lies Lower Lough Erne, and it is bordered by four other baronies in Northern Ireland: Magheraboy to the south; Tirkennedy to the south-east; Omagh West to the north; and Omagh East to the east. It also borders to the west the barony of Tirhugh in the Republic of Ireland. History The barony of Lurg is based on the ancient Irish territory of ''Tuath Luirg'', also known as ''Fir Luirg'' (the men of Lurg), who are claimed to be genealogically related to the Airgialla. This territory was the patrimonial inheritance of the O'Muldoon (). It is listed in the Annals, under the name ''Lorg'', as being a kingdom in the year 1039. Prior to this, Lurg was the base of the O'Monaghan (), thought to be descended from the original inhabitants of the area, the ''Fir Manach'', from which County Fermanagh gets its name. According to 19th century genealogist John O'Hart, the barony was also home to the Mu ...

Killian
Killian or Kilian, as a given name, is an Anglicized version of the Irish name . The name was borne by several early Irish saints including missionaries to Artois (France) and Franconia (Germany) and the author of the life of St Brigid. The name is said to derive from Saint Kilian, an Irish missionary to Germany in the 7th century, who, according to the Acta Sanctorum, was born in Mullagh, County Cavan, Ireland c. 640. He departed for his mission to the continent with 12 apostles from Kilmacologue in the parish of Tuosist, County Kerry, Ireland. In 689, he was martyred in Würzburg, now in Bavaria, and subsequently became the city's patron saint.
