From the A87 road below Carn Ghluasaid looks a pretty featureless hill and it's top is hidden from sight. On the western side a narrow col links to Sgurr nan Conbhairean also munro status, via a top Creag a' Chaorainn (998m). The summit plateau of Carn Ghluasaid is small, flat and stony with the summit cairn standngon the northern edge.
