Peaks of North Harris
Peaks of North Harris from my ongoing Odyssey of the Western Isles with Heidi in A2A's Piper Cub, with Rex cloud textures and Horizons excellent photographic scenery addon for Microsoft FSX.
For the geeks, who can never have enough information, and I have become obsessed with The Western Isles this past couple of years, have included some facts ;-)
The Clisham (Scottish Gaelic: An Cliseam) is a mountain on the island of Harris in the Western Isles of Scotland. At 799 metres (2,621 ft) it is the highest mountain in the Outer Hebrides and the archipelago's only Corbett. (Corbetts are Scottish mountains over 2,500 feet (762 metres) and below 3,000 feet (914.4 metres) originally listed by the late John Rooke Corbett. Unlike Munros, which don't have a strict definition in terms of amount of reascent required to be considered a separate mountain, the definition of a Corbett is based on there being at least 500 feet of ascent on all sides. Those who climb them all are termed Corbetteers.)
For those more adventurous wishing to climb Mt Clisham ;-)
The easiest ascent of the mountain starts from the highest point of the A859 road between Tarbert and Ardvourlie (Aird a' Mhulaidh), and climbs the broad southern shoulder. A longer and more varied expedition starts at a bridge over the Scaladale River (Abhainn Scaladail) near Ardvourlie, from where the minor summit of Tomnabhal (552 metres (1,811 ft)) may be ascended before continuing on to the Clisham. Many walkers taking this option continue west then north along the ridge, taking in the summits of Mull bho Dheas (743 metres (2,438 ft)), Mulla bho Thuath (720 metres (2,362 ft)) and Mullach an Langa (614 metres (2,014 ft)), thus completing a round known as the Clisham Horseshoe
known Meanwhile back in my virtual world to the right of An Cliseam is Mulla bno Dhheas at 743 metres (2438 ft) ,in the foreground is Loch nan Eang.
