The stark rise of the jagged Black Cuillin ridge ....
The Black Cuillin are a mountain range on the Isle of Skye off the North West coast of Scotland and contain the highest concentration of mountains over 3000 feet high in the UK (20 summits exceed this height).
The mountains are a memorable sight whether the weather is bright and sunny or grey and misty as it often is on Skye. Either way they have a unique presence and can be seen from miles around both on Skye and on the mainland.
The mountains themselves are the preserve of experienced mountaineers and hillwalkers but the rest of us can enjoy classic views from Elgol and Sligachan and along Glenbrittle.
