A great flat-topped summit at the highest point of Raasay which offers astonishing views across the island, over to Skye and the Cuillin and across the Inner Sound to the Scottish mainland and Applecross. The path up to the summit is a bit vague, steep and sometimes boggy but at 444m high it's not huge or scrambly.
Normally run as a loop from the ferry at Clachan which is about 16km.
