Ben Loyal or Ben Laoghal, a mountain in Tongue parish, Sutherland, flanking the western side of Loch Loyal, and culminating 5¼ miles S by W of Tongue village at 2504 feet above sea-level. Composed of syenite, it spreads 2 miles westward from the mid shore of Loch Loyal, across the head of the Strath of Tongue; curves gracefully upward from rounded loins to splintered summit, terminating in 4 massive peaks, the highest standing in advance of the others; and as to contour, is the most picturesque of any of the Highland mountains.
