A large peak in the Red Hills on Skye. The hill itself is broad and grassy, distinctly different from austere and jagged neighboring peaks in the Cuillin ridge.

The summit offers unrivalled views over the Cuillin ridge, as well as out to sea, make sure to visit on a clear day!

A wonderful viewpoint across the deep valley to perhaps the finest of the Cuillin, Sgurr nan Gillean.

Hiking

Marsco is a wonderful viewpoint, looking across the deep valley some 2000 feet below to the magnificent Sgurr nan Gillean. It may not look it, but the way to the top of Sgurr nan Gillean is from this side.
