Dùn da Ghaoithe (Gaelic, meaning "fort of the two winds") is the second highest mountain on the Isle of Mull, western Scotland, and the island's only Corbett.[1] It reaches 766 metres (2,513 ft) high, but "its long ridge and deep corries make it seem far higher".[2] It boasts sea views "in almost every direction",[2] and is the main mountain seen by visitors to the island on leaving the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry from Oban at Craignure.[1]
