Canisp and the iconic Sugar-Loaf mountain, Suilven, across Lochinver Bay, Sutherland, Scotland.
Canisp and the iconic Sugar-Loaf mountain, Suilven, across Lochinver Bay, Sutherland, Scotland.

Commentary.

Amazing Suilven changes in form
as we circumnavigate it.
From the west, a sugar-loaf dome, near vertical.
From others, a giant elephant.
West peak, its rump.
Central col, a dip in its backbone.
Easterly peak, a sharper point to the top of its skull.
From yet others it appears like an incisor tooth,
thrusting up from an undulating, rocky base
of “Knock and Lochan” or small hill and lake.
The mountains of Sutherland don’t reach 1,000 metres.
But because of their stark, isolated rise,
they seem double their actual height.
They arrest one’s attention.
They demand focus.
They bemuse, by constantly changing form, shape and character,
and none more so, than the captivating,
iconic, monolith known as Suilven!
