Black Cuillin from the slopes of Beinn Staic

Black Cuillin from the slopes of Beinn Staic
The Cuillin (Scottish Gaelic: An Cuilthionn or An Cuiltheann) is a range of rocky mountains located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The true Cuillin is also known as the Black Cuillin to distinguish it from the Red Cuillin (na Beanntan Dearga, known locally as Red Hills) across Glen Sligachan. The Red Cuilin hills are lower and, being less rocky, have fewer scrambles or climbs.

The highest point of the Cuillin, and of the Isle of Skye, is Sgùrr Alasdair in the Black Cuillin at 992 m (3,255 ft). The Cuillin is one of 40 National Scenic Areas in Scotland.

Magnificent!
My three climbing visits were so long ago (78, 79 and 80) that I think I can't remember the many peaks of the Cuillin Horseshoe but in fact I can, in pretty good detail!
Thank for the memories!
Best wishes,
Andy
