Healabhal Bheag

Healabhal Bheag is a flat-topped hill on the Duirinish peninsula of the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides. It stands south of its twin, Healabhal Mhòr, and together they are called MacLeod’s Tables. The hill rises above the surrounding landscape near Dunvegan and Harlosh, forming a striking landmark. Its broad summit resembles a table, which gives the pair their name. The lower slopes are covered in grass and heather, typical of Skye’s moorland. The hill is easily recognised from miles away, guiding walkers across the peninsula. The hill is worth the journey for its dramatic shape and clear views. It was once used by Clan MacLeod for gatherings and feasts, adding a layer of history to the walk. The flat top offers a rare vantage point over much of northern Skye. The contrast between the green slopes and the blue waters of Loch Dunvegan is striking. The site is quiet, with few visitors, making it a peaceful place to explore. Its simplicity and scale make it unforgettable once seen. A visitor finds a straightforward climb to the summit along grassy paths. The top is wide and open, with room to walk and look around. On clear days the views stretch to the Cuillin mountains and the sea. The wind often blows across the summit, adding to the sense of space. The surrounding hills and moorland stretch away in every direction. The hill’s quiet presence makes it a rewarding destination for those who reach it.
