The Black Cuillin, Isle of Skye, Scotland

The Black Cuillin is a 12km ridge on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, which takes in 11 Munros and many subsidiary peaks. Much of the ridge is narrow and exposed. The technical nature of the terrain, with almost constant scrambling, means that the Black Cuillin is best tackled with a guide who is familiar with the area.

This short video features a couple of short sections of the Cuillin Ridge, between Sgurr na Banachdich and Sgurr a Ghreadaidh and on the ascent of Sgurr nan Gillean.
