Beinn Airigh Charr

Beinn Airigh Charr is a mountain summit reached on the route between Loch Maree and Loch Broom in the Scottish Highlands. Its grid reference is NG942736, placing it among the region’s remoter peaks. The mountain belongs to three recognised hill lists: it is a Marilyn, a Corbett and a HuMP. Organisations update these lists by measuring, checking and collecting data on British and Irish hills. Efforts are made to keep the original Gaelic name whenever possible. The peak stands out for its inclusion in multiple Scottish hill classifications. Marilyns measure height and prominence, while Corbetts are defined by specific height and drop criteria. HuMPs add another layer by focusing on relative height. The combined lists appear together on the Database of British and Irish Hills website. Contributors help ensure accuracy and completeness of the records. Visitors to Beinn Airigh Charr follow a path that crosses wild Highland terrain. The route offers wide views over lochs and moorland as it climbs steadily upward. The summit area is marked by a simple cairn rather than a built structure. The surrounding landscape remains largely untouched, with few signs of modern development. The mountain’s Gaelic name reflects its place in local tradition.
