Las Cuillin (Gaélico escocés: An Cuilthionn o An Cuiltheann) son una cadena de montañas rocosas ubicadas en la isla de Skye en Escocia (Reino Unido). Las verdaderas Cuillin son también conocidas como las Cuillins Negras para distinguirse las Colinas Rojas al otro lado de Glen Sligachan. Las Colinas Rojas son más bajas y, siendo menos rocosas, tienen menos escaladas o trepaduras. El punto más elevado de las Cuillin, y de la isla de Skye, es Sgurr Alasdair en la Cuillins Negras con 992 m (3255 ft).
