Beinn Mheadhoin

Beinn Mheadhoin rises to 1,182 meters in elevation, featuring a broad plateau at its peak with several granite formations scattered across the surface.

The mountain received its name from Scottish Gaelic language, with 'Mheadhoin' translating to 'middle,' reflecting its central position in the Cairngorm mountain range.

Local mountaineers consider ascending Beinn Mheadhoin a significant achievement, as reaching the true summit requires climbing the largest granite tor at its peak.

The ascent from Coire Cas car park spans 20 kilometers with a 1,400-meter elevation gain, requiring thorough preparation and navigation skills for a safe journey.

The summit plateau contains multiple granite tors, large boulder formations left behind by retreating ice sheets during the last glacial period.
