About Cul Mor
Cùl Mòr is a twin-summited hill in the historic county of Sutherland, and its higher top is the highest point of Inverpolly. It is all but detached from Cùl Beag to the south.
Its better-known neighbours, Suilven and Stac Pollaidh, draw more attention despite being lower; Cùl Mòr's extra height means it looks out over both.
