Ben Wyvis, Mountain summit in Easter Ross, Scotland.

Ben Wyvis extends over 5 kilometers with a north-south ridge, reaching an elevation of 1,046 meters at its highest point, Glas Leathad Mor.

The Battle of Bealach nam Broig occurred near the pass separating Ben Wyvis from Carn Mor in 1452, marking territorial conflicts between local clans.

The mountain holds significance for Clan Munro, who traditionally held the land from the Crown and were required to produce snow from the mountain at midsummer.

The main hiking trail starts at the Garbat car park along the A835 road, with the round trip covering 14 kilometers and taking approximately 4.5 hours.

The summit plateau contains a rare carpet of woolly hair-moss that provides nesting grounds for dotterel birds during their summer breeding season.
