Extreme points of Scotland

The northernmost and westernmost points of Scotland coincide with those of the UK (both for the mainland and including the islands).

The highest point in Scotland is the summit of Ben Nevis, at an elevation of 1,345 m (4,413 ft).

The ten tallest mountains in the UK are all found in Scotland.

Wanlockhead claims to be the highest settlement in Scotland, at 410 m (1,350 ft) above sea level.

Many points are on, or near sea level, but due to high rainfall, there are no natural dry pieces of land below sea level - see rivers and lochs below.
