Ben Loyal, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
Ben Loyal rises to 764 meters featuring four distinct peaks along its ridge, providing views across the northern Scottish landscape from the Kyle of Tongue.
The mountain holds remnants of a 1943 Handley Page Hampden aircraft crash, where Flight Lieutenant H. Puplett and crew members lost their lives during a search mission.
The area surrounding Ben Loyal maintains protected status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its geological formations and natural ecosystems.
Hikers reach the start point from a designated parking area near Ribigil, as no direct public transportation connects to the mountain base.
The mountain consists of syenite rock, a specific granite variant without quartz, making it notable among Scottish peaks for its geological composition.
