About Leum Uilleim
Leum Uilleim stands in Lochaber, about 3 km south-west of Corrour railway station. That station is the practical key to the hill: Corrour is itself remote, and the mountain lies considerably further from any public road than it does from the platform.
The hill has a small claim on film history, appearing in Trainspotting. At 906.5 m it is listed as a Corbett, together with Marilyn, HuMP and Simm status.

Finding the summit
rock 20m W of cairn at NN 33053 64129 is 15cm higher but higher ground may well exist under cairn.
The recorded summit point is large cairn on pile of stones. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.
