Ben Klibreck
(Ben Clebrig, Beinn Cleith Bric)

A mountain massif set amidst the Sutherland moors, to the south of Tongue in the Sutherland district of Highland Council Area, Ben Klibreck (occasionally Ben Clebrig, Gael: Beinn Cleith Bric) rises to a height of 961m (3154 feet) forming a prominence on an otherwise featureless landscape. There are a number of tops on its summit ridge, Meall nan Con, to the south of Loch Naver, being the highest. The northern flank is steep in contrast to the southeastern flank which consists of grassy corries. Its name is derived from the Gaelic for "hill of the speckled cliff". The Klibreck Burn flows north to join the loch just east of the mountain at its western end.
