Beinn nan Oighreag

Beinn nan Oighreag is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands. It stands on the route from Glen Lyon to Glen Dochart and Loch Tay. The summit lies at grid reference NN541412. The hill is classified as a Marilyn, a Corbett and a HuMP. Organisations update and verify these lists on the Database of British and Irish Hills. The mountain’s name comes from Gaelic. It means ‘hill of the sheep’. The peak was last surveyed in January 2003. Walkers often include it on longer routes through the area. Its slopes offer views of Glen Lyon and Glen Dochart. The climb to the top follows rough paths and boulder fields. The final section is steep and rocky. From the summit ridge there are wide views over the surrounding glens. The route back can be combined with a visit to Loch Tay. The area is quiet and remote, ideal for a full-day walk.
