Marilyn · islands
'S Airde Beinn
The name means 'peak' in Gaelic. Only 295m tall but with enough prominence to stand alone on the Isle of Mull. 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 295m 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
Island winters are mild but stormy. Snow is rare at low levels. The main winter challenge is short daylight and frequent gales.
