Rum Cuillin traverse
This sustained mountain walk with basic scrambling covers the 5 major summits on Rum, including 2 Corbetts and a Graham. The Rum Cuillin offer arguably one of the most exciting hill days out in the Scottish Islands. The scrambling is simple and unexposed, with good holds and grippy rock, but the route is very long and committing with only 1 water point, and 2 potential escape routes, after the dam. On a clear day you are rewarded by breathtaking views across the Hebrides.
Terrain
Extremely long and rocky mountain traverse. Scrambling is straightforward if easiest line is found. Return walk is boggy.
Public Transport
Ferry to Rum from Mallaig; no transport on the island. Kinloch Castle is 700m from the pier.
Start
Kinloch Castle.
