Tour Scotland Video Drive To Red Cuillin Mountains Isle Of Skye

Tour Scotland video of a drive to the Red Cuillin mountains on ancestry visit to the Isle Of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. The Red Hills, Na Beanntan Dearga in Gaelic, are also known as the Red Cuillin. They are mainly composed of granite which is paler than the gabbro, with a reddish tinge from some angles in some lights, and has weathered into more rounded hills with vegetation cover to summit level and long scree slopes on their flanks. The highest point is Glamaig, one of only two mountains between 2,500 and 3,000 feet on Skye, the other being Garbh-bheinn, part of the small group of gabbro outliers surrounding Blà Bheinn.
