    A great, flat hike to the top. You can enjoy the various hills and the view of the sea. Plan on about two hours. Note: There are only about 10-15 parking spaces, but there are plenty of sheep.

      The little bothy used to be a Coast Guard lookout point before the hut was converted to an unmanaged hiker's cabin. From here you have a great view over the sea and Little Minch, an important shipping channel. With luck, you can spot whales and porpoises here while sheltered from the Scottish weather.

        This is a lovely little bothy with sweeping views. Due to its close location to the road and Rubha Hunish (both very popular with tourists), it is not a very remote spot though and you will often find walkers sitting on the rocks in front of the bothy enjoying the views.
