Binnein Shuas

Binnein Shuas is a mountain summit in the Grampians of the Scottish Highlands. It stands between Loch Treig and Loch Ericht, its slopes rising above the wild glens of the northwest highlands. A small cairn marks the highest point on the rounded top, a modest but clear landmark for walkers. The mountain is listed on the MarilynGrahamHuMP register, a system that recognises hills of particular prominence. Organisations such as the Database of British and Irish Hills keep these records up to date. The peak belongs to the group of Scottish summits measured for height and prominence. Its last precise survey took place on 28 October 2001, confirming its place in the national listings. Several hill-walking societies contribute to the accuracy of these records. The name Binnein Shuas comes from Gaelic, and efforts continue to find its original form. Local knowledge and historical sources help in this search. Visitors reach the summit by following paths that climb from the shores of Loch Treig or Loch Ericht. The route passes through open moorland and rocky sections before reaching the cairn. From the top, views stretch across the surrounding glens and lochs. On clear days, the peaks of Ben Alder and Creag Meagaidh appear in the distance. The quiet of the highland landscape remains undisturbed by crowds, making it a peaceful place to stand.
