Mull's only Corbett, Dun da Ghaoithe is a dramatic seaside hill with huge views encompassing both the mainland and the island's rugged interior. A shorter ascent is possible from Scallastle, but the extended circuit descried here is a better route with more in the way of ridge walking.

10.56 miles, 17 km, 857m ascent, 5 – 6 hours. Tobermory

Dun da Ghaoithe is a great walk. A few years ago we did a complete south north traverse. Left the car at the cemetery at Pennygown , caught the bus to Craignure and then walked back over all the hills. Fantastic views over the Sound of Mull watching the snow showers barrelling through.

Just spotted this. Isn't Beinn Tallaidh a Corbett as well? Or has it been demoted?

In reply to Lankyman:

It got demoted quite a while ago. Some bedtime reading https://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/surveys/Survey%20of%20Beinn%20Talaidh.pdf

Possibly only 20cm short - close, but no cigar!

I set off from near there one Saturday afternoon in December years ago. Walked up the ridge and saw a nice sunset from the top. Went down into Glen Forsa and struggled through the forestry ditches in the dark before finding the track, torch was in the car.
