Roineabhal [Roneval]

Only 201m 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

A short, accessible walk across machair grassland and rocky coastline to the 201m 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.
