The Cuillin hills are a range of rocky mountains located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
Approaching the centre of the Island from the south (from Toravaig Hotel for example), the visitor finds the skyline dominated by a range of hills famous throughout Europe as a playground for mountaineers. This is The Cuillin - a visual treat of shattered peaks, vertical faces and precipitous ridges, in summer an exhilarating and challenging outing, in winter a major mountaineering expedition.
Viewed early from Glen Brittle, or late in the day from Elgol to the south, this is the photographer’s view of the finest range of hills in the United Kingdom, and a stop at Sligachan offers the traveler a vista that is truly unforgettable.
The highest point of the Cuillin, and of the Isle of Skye, is Sgurr Alasdair in the Black Cuillin at 992 m (3,255 ft).
The mountains draw visitors from all over the world and hotels on The Isle of Skye are well used to catering for adventurous travelers interested in outdoor pursuits with many offering specially tailored packages to suit.
Toravaig Hotel offers a variety of breaks for those wishing to enjoy the Cuillins, including
walking,
cycling and
climbing.
