ID:QZP40_CARD_3714DESCRIPTION:Postcard of Ben Loyal, near Tongue, Sutherland.
Ben Loyal is an isolated mountain of 764 m in Sutherland, the north-western tip of the Scottish Highlands. It is a Corbett located south of the Kyle of Tongue, and provides good views of the Kyle, Loch Loyal to the east, and Ben Hope to the west.
It has a distinctive shape due to the four rocky peaks, the highest of which is called An Caisteal. To the north of An Caisteal is the 712 m Sgòr Chaonasaid, to the south is Bheinn Bheag (744 m), which cannot be seen in the photograph opposite, and to the west is the ridge of Sgòr a Chèirich, 644 m at its highest point. The fourth peak in the picture is the 568 m Sgòr Fionnaich.
Access is by a farm track which approaches from the north, starting at a farm called Ribigill.PLACENAME:Ben LoyalOLD COUNTY/PARISH:SUTHERLANDSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:35550KEYWORDS:
