Standard route

A short, accessible walk with Atlantic exposure and views to neighbouring islands to the 376m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.

Terrain

Island terrain varying from machair grassland to rocky hillside. Sea salt exposure affects the vegetation. Wind is a constant companion.

In winter

Maritime climate means mild winters with little snow but persistent wind and rain. A good option when mainland hills are in full winter conditions.
