Rising to 788.3 metres on the Isle of Skye, this peak embodies the rugged, weather-worn character of the Inner Hebrides. Classified as a Tump, its substantial elevation promises a true island wilderness experience, likely offering views that stretch across Skye’s complex coastline toward the jagged horizons of the Cuillin and the surrounding Minch.

• •The name likely derives from the Scottish Gaelic Leitireach, meaning 'place of slopes.' It is rooted in the word leitir, which describes a hillside or the sloping land between a mountain ridge and a valley floor.
• •As a Tump, this hill possesses at least 30 metres of prominence. Standing at 788.3 metres, it is a significant height for the island, placing the summit well above the coastal plateaus and into the realm of the island's high, rocky wilderness.
• •From a summit of this elevation, walkers can expect clear-day views of the Black Cuillin’s serrated ridge to the west and the distant, low-lying shapes of the Outer Hebrides—specifically Harris and South Uist—across the waters of the Minch.
• •While the name translates to a 'place of slopes,' walkers on Skye often find that such Gaelic descriptions are local shorthand for a relentless vertical bog followed by a sharp, wind-blasted scramble.
