Scaraben

About Scaraben

Scaraben is not a single cone but a ridge over four kilometres long, carrying three rounded tops, in the Caithness region of the far north. The highest reaches 626 m.

From the summit the Caithness coast is in view, and coastal Berriedale is the closest village. The hill is listed as a Graham and a Marilyn.

Finding the summit

The recorded summit point is trig point in shelter. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.
