Tips

In the north west of the Scottish Highlands, sitting above the cliffs on the Stoer Peninsula is Sìthean Mòr. This low hill – at 258 feet (161 m) – offers some absolutely extraordinary views for relatively little effort. Not far from the Old Man of Stoer sea stack, there's a reasonably good path to the summit and you're well rewarded.

Due west, the Isle of Lewis fills your views whilst looking north reveals the craggy coastline to Cape Wrath. The easterly views are where the true magic lies though, with views to the impressively lumpy forms of Assynt. From left to right, Quinag, Canisp, Suilven and Ben More Assynt create an unbelievable horizon.

Watch out for boggy sections and stick to the paths to keep your feet as dry as possible.

Indeed, keeping your feet dry is quite a challenge, especially in Scottish weather conditions 😉
