NC500 GT. - 31 – Suilven

As we regain the A894 we have a chance to look back over the magnificent landscape here and see the giant Suilven against the horizon. A mountain that beckoned us again and again whilst in Assynt.

'Suilven may be only 731 metres high, but its remarkable outline make it one of Scotland's best known and most easily identified mountains. Lying in a remote area in the west of Sutherland, it rises from a wilderness landscape of moorland, bogs and lochans known as Inverpolly National Nature Reserve. Suilven forms a steep-sided ridge some two kilometres in length.' Wikipedia & Walkhighlands
