Cuillin Hills

The Cuillin Hills are a group of hills located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

The traverse of the Cuillin Ridge is said to be challenging for climbers however the careful scrambler can access most of the individual peaks. These hills generally consist of gabbro which makes for superb grip for mountaineers.
