About Beinn na Caillich

This Beinn na Caillich overlooks Kyle Rhea at the eastern end of Skye and is frequently combined with Sgurr na Coinnich, its slightly higher neighbour to the south-west. A second hill of the same name, with the same height, lies among the Red Hills further west on the island.
