Ben Klibreck, Mountain summit in Sutherland, Scotland.
Ben Klibreck is a mountain in Sutherland, Scotland, with steep slopes on the western side and large grassy hollows on the eastern face. The landscape shifts between rocky sections and soft heather-covered slopes that shape the character of the Scottish Highlands.
The name comes from Scottish Gaelic and means 'mountain of the speckled cliff'. The region was long shaped by herders and clans whose marks remain visible in the names of the surrounding area.
As the second most northerly Munro after Ben Hope, Ben Klibreck holds particular significance for Scottish mountain climbing enthusiasts and peak collectors.
The most direct access starts from the A836 road near Loch nan Uan. The climb follows steep slopes and hikers should prepare for changing weather conditions and wet moorland underfoot.
The mountain sits isolated amid moorlands and offers long views across the northern Highlands from its summit. On clear days, visitors can see neighboring peaks and the distant northern coastline stretching far away.
