	Cuillin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cuillin are a range of rocky mountains located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
		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.
		The Black Cuillin are the most challenging hills in the British Isles, although the careful scrambler can access most of the individual peaks by their easiest routes.

		The magnificent Cuillin Hills contain the only Munro which is impossible for normal walkers (The Inaccessible Pinnacle) and needs to be climbed using rock climbing techniques.
		Outwith the Cuillin Hills, there are many delightful coastal walks, and in the Trotternish peninsula, there is the interesting Trotternish Ridge, a 30km outing, much of it over pleasant grass.
		The highest summit is that of Goatfell (hill of the wind, 874m).

		The road down the glen takes the east side of the valley bottom, and views of the Cuillin ridge are slightly restricted both by the grassy lower slopes and the fact that the roadside electricity wires are strategically strung along their wooden poles to impede most photographs of the ridge from below.
		The main ridge of the Cuillin is a place for experienced scramblers and climbers rather than for walkers.
		The Cuillin lie at the heart of Skye, and Glen Brittle is one of three main ways of approaching the range.

		With increasing altitude in the Kyleakin Hills the widespread Calluna moors of the lower slopes are replaced by a dwarf, wind-pruned mat of Calluna vulgaris interspaced by conspicuous carpets of the hairy moss Rhacomitrium lanuginosum, through which grow Festuca vivipara, Antennaria dioica, and Salix herbacea.
		The vegetation of the granitic Red Hills is fairly similar to the vegetation of the Kyleakin Hills.
		The summits of all the Cuillin Hills are largely devoid of vegetation.

		I went to the hills when I was in my early teens, low hills such as Calton Hill and Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, followed by the Pentland Hills just to the south.
		The Cuillin can be seen from north, south, east and west against every sort of background, and how I enjoyed my first views of the Cuillin from the Outer Hebrides.
		When anyone thinks of Skye the Cuillin Hills immediately come to mind, and I can't imagine any serious visitor to the island not at least taking the roads which lie around the Cuillin, even when they may not tackle the rigours of the climb itself.

	Scotsman.com News - Cuillin Hills - Good news for the environment and climbers
		It’s a curious anomaly that the Skye Cuillin is at the same time both priceless and not worth the £10 million asking price.
		So a private sale of the Cuillin was never really on the cards, and Mr MacLeod was badly advised to take such a course of action.
		The MacLeod estate has previously taken the view that the mountains were MacLeod’s Tables, near Dunvegan, and geographically it is highly unlikely that the higher, and eastern part of the Cuillin were part of the charter lands.

		In general the dip of the layering is inwards towards the centre of the intrusions, which consequently resemble a stack of saucers of three-dimensional shape.
		The small granitic centre of Strath na Creitheach and the succeeding large centres of the Western Red Hills and Eastern Red Hills are a marked contrast to the Cuillin.
		Outwith the area of the Cuillin and the Red Hills, the most voluminous group of igneous intrusions are the basic sills of northern Skye.

		The mountain on the left is Gars-bheinn, which marks the southern end of the main Coulin ridge, in the middle you have Sgurr na Stri (The Hill of Strife), where local clans met to settle their differences, and on the extreme right, the wonderfully deceptive hill of Marsco, part of the red Hills.
		I, like so many other visitors to Skye, ignored these hills in favour of their more dramatic neighbours, but when I took a walk up Marsco, I found that the only reason they looked easy was by comparison with the Cuillin.
		I was particularly attracted to this hill, because it is formed from different rock than it's surroundings, and consequently all the vegetation grows differently, giving it the appearance from a distance of being covered with velvet.

		But a word of warning: if you plan going for a walk, wear the right equipment, especially if you are walking in the higher areas in Scotland, Wales, or the North of England.
		And, if you choose to walk in the hills, learn to navigate and learn some mountain survival techniques - the weather doesn't show up on the map, but it can break in minutes and leave you fighting for your life.

		Others come to walk and climb in the hills, and some make special expeditions to look more closely at the rocks that make up these hills or the plants and animals that live on them.
		The Cuillin Ridge has 11 Munros which attract a large number of walkers putting a lot of pressure on our paths.
		The short growing season, poor soils and sheep grazing in the hills, means that vegetation is easily damaged and takes a long time to recover.
