About Belig

Belig rises in the centre of Skye, north-east of the main Black Cuillin ridge but still counted among the Cuillin hills. It is a sharp, well-defined peak whose summit is the meeting point of three ridges.

Walkers often pair it with the neighbouring Garbh-bheinn. Dunan, to the east, is the closest village.
