About Benaquhallie

Rising to 494 metres, this Marilyn offers a quieter alternative to the Isle of Skye’s iconic peaks. As both a Hump and a Tump, its significant prominence provides a sense of scale and isolation, making it a fine objective for those looking to explore the island's moorland away from the more popular mountain trails.
