A low-level 338m summit on the Isle of Mull that proves hills do not need to be high to be rewarding. The prominence gives this Marilyn genuine character.

Standard route

A short, accessible walk with Atlantic exposure and views to neighbouring islands to the 338m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.

Terrain

Mixed island landscape with coastal rock, peat and grass. The sea is visible from most points on the walk.

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.
