Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent with Atlantic exposure and views to neighbouring islands to the 460m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 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.
