	Isle of Skye Tour Guide - the Cuillins
		The Cuillin mountains, a massive confusion of gabbro and granite which straddles the island, are famous for their rugged splendour.
		The red hills of the east have soft, rounded contours to their steep sides while the fl hills to the west, rising to almost 1000 metres, are unimaginably hard and jagged in their aspect.
		The two main starting points for exploring the Cuillins are Sligachan, which lies at the junction of the two main roads through the island, and Glen Brittle, to the west.

	Cuillin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The highest point of the Cuillin, and indeed the Isle of Skye, is Sgurr Alasdair in the Black Cuillin.
		The Cuillins are perhaps the only range in the United Kingdom to approach in sheer jagged rawness (though not of course in height) the mountain experience of such ranges as the Alps or Rockies.
		The Red Cuillin are mainly composed of granitic rock which is paler than the gabbro (with a reddish tinge from some angles in some lights) and has weathered into more rounded hills with vegetation cover to summit level and many long screes slopes on their flanks.

		Sailing towards the island of Rum, the first thing you spy on the horizon are the dramatic peaks of the Cuillin.
		For the tops of the Rum Cuillin are all that remains of a giant volcano which must have exploded with quite some ferocity to leave such a trail of destruction in its wake.
		Two of the tops are Corbetts and thankfully the ridge is not nearly as difficult as the Black Cuillin, across the water on Skye.

	The Cuillin Ridge - De La Salle Scout Group Expeditions Series
		The Cuillin Ridge on the Island of Skye is the most famous mountaineering expedition in Britain.
		The traverse across the main summits of the Black Cuillin Mountains involves over 3000 metres of ascent spread along an eleven kilometre alpine style route and takes in 11 munro summits with 19 separate peaks in all to be negotiated.
		My glimpses of the ridge from atop the summit of the Saddle over in Glenshiel earlier that day and then from the roadside on the way down from Sligachan had given me the feeling that in setting out on the traverse, we were in for something grand, tough and unforgettable.

	Rock Climbing in Scotland - Cuillin Ridge, Scotland
		But what the Cuillin Ridge lacks in height and alpine environment is more than made up for in other ways.
		Pulling off a successful traverse depends less on technical skills than it does on physical and mental stamina and a keen mountain sense of where you are and where you're going.
		The ridge is usually attempted from a bivouac on Gars-bheinn, a peak at the southern end of the ridge, and finished, usually in the dark, on Sgurr nan Gillean, a peak at the northern end.

	MCofS; The Cuillin of Skye for sale
		This “Cuillin For Sale” saga has gone on for over three years now and throughout this time there has been nothing but secrecy and an unwillingness to engage with the recreational visitors to the Cuillin Mountains.
		As for retaining the link between the off-loading of the Cuillin and the roof repair, we are still highly concerned that the government is going to end up purchasing the Cuillin for the nation, when a great many people believe that the nation already owns it.
		Whilst confirmation of public ownership of the Cuillin should be welcomed, there is concern that the government agency at the centre of talks over the future of the Cuillin is HIE.

		The Cuillin Ridge is the traverse of the main summits of the Black Cuillin Mountains in Skye, one of the Western Isles in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland.
		Although the climbing technicalities are not great, the route is extremely long and exposed and calls for competent soloing at Diff (and occasionally Severe) standard in boots or running shoes on occasionally wet and sometimes dubious rock, combined with good stamina.

		It sits at the base of the Strathaird peninsula between the inlets of Loch Slapin and Loch Scavaig and, although it sits beside the Red Cuillin, it has far more in common with the Black Cuillin and is a tricky climb.
		We were waiting for the boat to depart but Skye's traditional weather intervened and we dashed back to the car to sit out the storm.
		It's the first summit in the traverse of the Black Cuillin Ridge, an expedition for experienced rock climbers and way beyond the capabilities of ordinary walkers like me. A traverse of the ridge involves 10,000ft of ascent and a great deal of exposure to vertical drops.
