Ben Hiant

The austere rugged profile of Ben Hiant (528m) dominates the northern shore of Loch Sunart of the Ardnamurchan peninsula with its bare rock exposures and jutting outcrops. This is a lovely low level hill walk with stunning views on a fine day of the Small Isles, Mull and Skye, Loch Sunart and Loch Teacius, and the hills of Morvern. 

A gentle ascent along a fairly distinctive path but with a few steep and vertiginous sections, requiring a little scrambling in places.  A stunning walk on a bright day affording panoramic views at the summit and geological and botanic interest on route.
