Airneabhal is a prominent hill located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. It is part of the Uig Hills range and stands at an elevation of 564 meters (1,850 feet) above sea level. The hill is characterized by its rounded shape and rocky terrain, making it a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The summit of Airneabhal offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the Isle of Lewis and the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day, visitors can see as far as the Outer Hebrides and the mountains of the Scottish Highlands.

The hill is home to a variety of flora and fauna, with heather, grasses, and wildflowers covering its slopes. Birdwatchers may be able to spot species such as golden eagles, buzzards, and peregrine falcons soaring overhead.

Access to Airneabhal is typically via a network of well-maintained hiking trails, with the most popular starting point being the village of Timsgarry. Visitors are advised to wear appropriate footwear and clothing, as weather conditions on the hill can change rapidly.

Airneabhal Taken from the west, where the drier slopes, drier as the water can flow down hill out of the soil, makes way for the gentler slopes of the great bogland.
