Isle of Skye mountain weather and the Cuillin
121 peaks with full guides
The Black Cuillin on Skye is the roughest mountain ground in Britain: a ring of gabbro peaks where many summits need scrambling and the Inaccessible Pinnacle needs a rock climb. Compasses can read wrong on the magnetic rock. The Red Cuillin across Glen Sligachan are rounder, and the Trotternish ridge to the north carries the Storr and the Quiraing. Each peak below has its own forecast.
