Dun da Ghaoithe

About Dun da Ghaoithe

The second highest mountain on Mull and the island's only Corbett, Dùn da Ghaoithe carries a long ridge and deep corries that make it read as a bigger hill than its 766 m suggests.

It is the mountain most visitors meet first: it dominates the view on stepping off the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry from Oban at Craignure. Sea views open in nearly every direction from the tops.
