    Hiking

    Arkle stands at 787 m in the North-west Sutherland region of the highlands. It's a large, curving ridge of shattered quartzite with great views over the area and back towards Foinavon.

    Hiking

    The summit of Arkle is a big stone covered dome, easy to climb onto after the narrow ridge, and the views are more restricted than on the ridge itself, but still worthwhile.
