Marsco is a peak in the Red Hills on the Scottish
Isle of Skye. It lies on the east of Glen Sligachan, and may be climbed from the right-of-way
through the glen from Sligachan
to Loch Coruisk
. Alternatively, it may also be reached from Coire nam Bruadaran on the western side.
Marsco has magnificent views of the main Cuillin
ridge as well as out to sea; many walkers reckon it is perhaps the finest of all the Grahams.
