Greabhal

Rising above the port of Leverburgh on the southern tip of Harris, this rugged Marilyn offers a wild, rocky character that belies its modest height. It provides an exceptional vantage point for surveying the complex tides and turquoise waters of the Sound of Harris and the far-flung islands to the south.

• •The name reflects the island's Norse heritage, with the suffix 'bhal' derived from the Old Norse word 'fjall', meaning hill or mountain.
• •The summit offers a clear sightline across the Sound of Harris to the low-lying islands of Ensay, Killigray, and Pabbay, stretching toward the hills of North Uist.
• •Due to its location at the 'toe' of the island, it is frequently used by walkers as a quick, high-reward leg-stretcher while waiting for the ferry to Berneray.
• •The terrain is quintessentially Hebridean—a mixture of Lewisian Gneiss outcrops and deep heather that ensures you work considerably harder for the summit than the 280-metre elevation suggests.
