Bruach na Frìthe is a famous mountain peak in Scotland. It's part of the Black Cuillin mountain range. You can find it on the beautiful Isle of Skye.
This mountain, like others in the Cuillin, is made of a special rock called gabbro. Gabbro is great for climbing because it's very grippy. Many people look from Sligachan and think they see Bruach na Frìthe. But the peak you often see from there is actually Sgurr a' Bhasteir, which is a bit lower.
