Druim na Sgriodain

Rising steeply above the southern shores of Loch Scridain, this prominent Graham offers a rugged, pathless ascent through heather and crag. It serves as the high point of the Ross of Mull, providing a wild, coastal character that feels much grander than its modest elevation might suggest to the casual observer.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic 'Druim na Sgriodain', meaning 'the ridge of the scree', referring to the loose, stony slopes that drop away toward the sea-loch on its northern flank.
• •As the highest point of the Ross of Mull, the summit offers a rare perspective of the island's west coast, including a clear view of the white sands of Iona and the distinctive profile of the Treshnish Isles.
• •Looking north across the water, the hill provides a magnificent full-height profile of Ben More, Mull's only Munro, which appears particularly massive when viewed from this coastal vantage point.
• •Despite its modest height, the climb typically begins from near sea level at Pennyghael, meaning walkers must tackle the full vertical ascent without the benefit of high-altitude starting points.
• •The hill is the namesake of Loch Scridain below, a rare instance where a specific mountain feature has dictated the name of a major Scottish sea-loch.
