Sgùrr nan Conbhairean: Peak of the dog-men ; i.e., attendants of hunters ; this is the local explanation, which seems right. It may, however, mean : Peak of the dog-kennels,’ in allusion to some feature known to hunters.: Watson 1904, 174

ˌskurnaˈgonvaran, peak of the dog-men (i.e. handlers): A. Watson 2015, 145

Although some distance away there is also Achnaconeran ~ Achadh nan Conbheairean at the foot of Glen Moriston.
