Suilven is a mountain in the remote Assynt district of west Sutherland, Scotland, rising as a steep-sided ridge about two kilometers long from a wilderness of moorland, bogs and lochans. It is built of Torridonian sandstone resting on much older Lewisian gneiss bedrock, and glacial erosion carved its distinctive narrow, teardrop-shaped profile and vertical cliff faces. The ridge carries three summits: Caisteal Liath at its northwest end, the highest at 731 meters, with Meall Meadhonach at 724 meters and Meall Beag at 660 meters further to the southeast.
