Beinn Bhalgairean

Beinn Bhalgairean is a mountain summit on the route from Inveraray to Crianlarich in the Scottish Highlands. It stands on a broad ridge with steep slopes on either side. The summit area is marked by a large stone seven metres south of the main cairn. The mountain is listed among the Marilyns, Grahams and HuMPs, categories used to classify hills by height and prominence. The hill’s height was last remeasured on 28 October 2001. Organisations such as the Scottish Mountaineering Club maintain the databases that include Beinn Bhalgairean. These lists help walkers plan routes and compare peaks across Britain and Ireland. Visitors reach the summit by following paths that climb the grassy and heather-covered slopes. The view from the top takes in the surrounding glens and distant ridges. The large summit stone provides a clear reference point for navigation. The ridge offers a straightforward scramble without technical climbing.
