Suilven

Suilven Suilven is one of the most beguiling and intriguing of all British mountains

It is also massively impressive, its bulk dominating the wilds of Sutherland, the great flats of interwoven heather, the myriad lochs and the grey, rumple-skinned gneiss. From the west, looking from the sea over Lochinver, the head is a massive, vertical-sided rock dome: thisn is the aptly named Caisteal Liath. From here a 2km spine runs east, first falling to the saddle of Bealach

Mor, then rising again to the raised hump, the high conical spire of Meall Mheadhonach. Further still to the east, seperated by a fearsome rift, is the bobtail of Meall Mheadhonach. Suilven is a famous landmark known to mountaineers and to all who pass this way, from the Celts and the Vikings, to Travelling People making their summer migration to the distant north.
