Askival is the highest mountain on the island of Rùm, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It is located five kilometres (three miles) south of Kinloch, the main village on the island. It is part of the Rùm Cuillin, a rocky range of hills in the southern end of Rùm.[1] It is often climbed as part of a full traverse of the ridge.
