Ben Hope, Summit at Northwest Highlands, Scotland
Ben Hope rises to 927 meters above sea level, presenting steep slopes and a triangular shape with prominent western crags facing Strathmore valley.
The mountain received its name from Norse and Gaelic influences, translating to 'mountain of the bay' in reference to its location near water bodies.
The Aetherius Society, a spiritual organization, includes Ben Hope among their collection of 19 sacred mountains throughout the British landscape.
The primary ascent route starts from a parking area near Dun Dornaigil broch, following the Allt-na-caillich burn through marked paths for 7 kilometers.
Ben Hope holds the distinction of being the northernmost Munro in Scotland, offering views extending to the Orkney Islands on clear weather days.
