The Cuillin (Scottish Gaelic: An Cuiltheann) [2] is a range of mostly jagged rocky mountains on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.The main Cuillin ridge is also called the Black Cuillin [3] to distinguish it from the Red Cuillin (na Beanntan Dearga), which lie to the east of Glen Sligachan.
The Isle of Skye, [a] [8] or simply Skye, [b] is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. [Note 1] The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous hub dominated by the Cuillin, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country.
Sgùrr Alasdair is the highest peak of the Black Cuillin, and the highest peak on the Isle of Skye and in the Inner Hebrides, and indeed in all the Scottish islands, at 992 m (3,255 ft). Like the rest of the range it is composed of gabbro, a rock with excellent grip for mountaineering.
Sgùrr Dearg (Scottish Gaelic for 'red rocky peak') is a mountain in the Cuillin on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.It is topped by the Inaccessible Pinnacle (or An Stac in Gaelic), [2] a fin of rock measuring 50 metres (160 ft) along its longest edge.
These coarse-grained igneous rocks are relatively resistant to erosion and now form the Cuillin hills. The Black Cuillin are formed of gabbro, which erodes to form the characteristically jagged outlines, although this is in large part due to the many minor intrusions, such as dykes and cone sheets that cut the gabbro.

Sgùrr nan Gillean is a peak in the northern part of the Cuillin mountains on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. With a height of 966 metres (3,169 feet), it is one of eleven Munros in the Cuillins. It is the Munro peak nearest to the settlement of Sligachan, and its impressive triangular profile makes it one of the most recognizable of the Cuillins.
Sgùrr na Banachdaich (Gaelic for "smallpox peak"), [2] also spelt Sgurr na Banachdich in English, is a peak in the Cuillin mountains on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.It reaches a height of 965 metres (3,166 ft), making it a Munro; standing at the western edge of the Cuillin ridge, it is the most westerly of the Munros.
