1. Blà Bheinn
Region : Ile of Skye
Difficulty : Hard
Blà Bheinn is the only Munro (peak over 3000 feet) among the 13 on the Isle of Skye that is not part of the famous Cuillins mountain range. This makes it a unique vantage point. Its summit offers a 360° panorama that is considered to be one of the most spectacular on the island.
2. Cùl Mòr
Region : Ullapool
Difficulty : Hard
Cùl Mòr is one of the remarkable mountains that characterise the region of Assynt, in the far north-west of Scotland. The peaks stand out like isolated giants, dominating an enchanting landscape dotted with a multitude of lochs and lochans.
Crossing the summit is a truly marvellous experience: the breathtaking panoramas that unfold all around you compete with each other in splendour.
3. Sgùrr na Stri
Region : Ile of Skye
Difficulty : Hard
Although modest in size at less than 500 metres above sea level, the summit of Sgùrr na Stri offers an exceptional panorama of the entire Cuillin mountain range, thanks to its central position overlooking Loch Coruisk. Some even consider it the most beautiful viewpoint in Scotland.
4. Goatfell
Region : Ile of Arran
Difficulty : Moderate
The acent to Goatfell, the highest peak on the island of Arran, is a hike not to be missed. This route is by far the most popular on the island, and not surprisingly so. Once at the summit, the reward is well worth the effort: a breathtaking panoramic view of the Isle of Arran, the Scottish coast, the islands of Jura and Islay, and, on a clear day, as far as the shores of Ireland.
5. Ben More Coigach
Region : Ullapool
Difficulty : Hard
The majestic summit of Ben More Coigach rises steeply from Loch Broom. Its coastal location, combined with its high prominence, offers a spectacular panorama, stretching from Ullapool to the Summer Isles and, to the north, from Coigach to the characteristic peaks of the magnificent region of Assynt.
This hike takes you on a journey of discovery to three peaks connected by a ridge where the views are simply extraordinary, making this one of the most beautiful walks in Scotland. An experience not to be missed!
