À propos de cette montagne
Schiehallion (1083m) is a fold mountain in the Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom. Grade 1/5: accessible hike with popular trails suitable for beginners. Formed by tectonic compression, it displays layered rock strata typical of fold ranges.
The topographic contour map of Schiehallion (1083m) in the Scottish Highlands shows elongated parallel contours following the ridge axis. Contour lines are drawn at 25m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 100m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 1,083m summit).

Frequently Asked Questions
The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.
The contour map of Schiehallion (1083m) uses a 25m contour interval. This means each line represents a 25m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Schiehallion (1083m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 1,083m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.
Schiehallion (1083m) was formed by tectonic folding, which compressed rock layers into long, parallel ridges. The contour map shows elongated lines that follow the axis of the fold, rather than circular patterns.
