Marilyn · islands
Li a' Tuath [North Lee]
Only 263m tall but with enough prominence to stand alone in the Uists of the Outer Hebrides. This is the beauty of Marilyns — height is not everything when you have a genuine summit.

Standard route
Standard route
A short, accessible walk across machair grassland and rocky coastline to the 263m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.
Terrain
Low-level island terrain with good natural drainage. The maritime climate keeps the ground green year-round.
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.
