Hiking
Don't just head for the highest point when hiking Ben Loyal, make sure you come up to Sgor Chaonasaid (Ben Loyal North Top), the views from this point are stunning. On a good day you can see across the Orkney (as well as down to the trail you likely followed to get up here). From this point, the ground just falls away into the abyss, very dramatic!

Hiking
A wonderfully airy rocky tor at the top of a steep grassy climb. It gives great views and it's a long way down!
