I Cuillin (in lingua gaelica scozzese: An Cuilthionn o An Cuiltheann) è una catena di montagne rocciose situata sull'isola di Skye, in Scozia. I veri Cuillin sono conosciuti come Black Cuillin (Cuillin Neri), per distinguersi dai Red Cuillin (Cuillin Rossi, in gaelico scozzese na Beanntan Dearga, conosciuti localmente anche come Colline Rosse), lungo Glen Sligachan. Le colline dei Red Cuillin sono più basse, ed essendo meno rocciose, contano meno punti di arrampicata o salita. Il punto più alto dei Cuillin, e dell'isola di Skye, è nei Black Cuillin a 992 m (3,255 ft). I Cuillin sono una delle 40 .
