Beinn na Caillich, Mountain summit in Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Beinn na Caillich rises to 732 meters above sea level, featuring a large cairn at its peak and red-colored granite rock formations.
Thomas Pennant ascended the mountain during his exploration, while notable travelers Samuel Johnson and James Boswell declined the climb in their Scottish journeys.
Local folklore connects the summit cairn to the burial site of a Norwegian princess known as Saucy Mary, who lived at Castle Moil in Kyleakin.
The mountain requires advanced hiking skills to reach the summit, with the trig point located 30 meters southwest of the main cairn at specific coordinates.
The name translates to Mountain of the Old Woman in Scottish Gaelic, marking one of two peaks with identical names and heights on the Isle of Skye.
