Glamaig, Mountain summit in Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Glamaig rises to 775 meters with steep slopes and grassy terrain, standing as the northernmost peak of the Red Hills on Skye.
In 1889, Gurkha soldier Harkabir Tharpa set an extraordinary record by climbing Glamaig in 37 minutes and completing the round trip in 55 minutes.
The mountain's name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Greedy Woman,' reflecting local linguistic heritage and traditional naming patterns.
The ascent begins at a layby on the A87 road near the Moll Road junction, with public transport connections from Portree and Broadford.
From certain angles, the mountain presents itself as a complete cone of scree, connected to other Red Hills by Bealach na Sgàirde pass.
