Askival is the highest mountain on the island of Rùm, in the Inner Hebrides, and in Argyllshire. It is located three miles south of Kinloch, the main village on the island.
Askival is part of the Rùm Cuillin, a rocky range of hills in the southern end of Rùm. It is often climbed as part of a full traverse of the ridge.
The name 'Askival' is Old Norse and means 'Ash tree mountain'.
