There are two Cuillin mountain ranges. The Red Cuillins are gently rounded, granite hills that are popular with walkers. The highest point is Glen Glamiag at 2543 feet. The Black Cuillins are the most challenging mountains in the UK. Eleven of the 12 Scottish munros, i.e. mountains over 3000 ft, are found in this range, and there are 16 other summits. The black appearance is due to the rough gabbro which is mixed with the smooth basalt. The weather changes rapidly in the mountains and it is essential that hikers leave information about the routes taken. Mobile and GPS reception is unpredictable. It is advisable to hire a guide while exploring The Cuillins.
