Beinn Liath Mhòr, Mountain summit in Northwest Highlands, Scotland.
Beinn Liath Mhòr extends over two kilometers with an undulating ridge that maintains an elevation above 800 meters throughout its entire length.
The mountain formed during the Cambrian period, resulting in distinct layers of quartzite and Torridonian sandstone that create its characteristic appearance.
The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Big Grey Mountain,' reflecting the light-colored quartzite stones that dominate its summit ridge.
Hikers can access the mountain from Achnashellach station on the A890 road, following a marked path through Coire Lair to reach the southeast ridge.
The summit offers clear views of neighboring Torridon peaks and numerous small mountain lakes scattered across the surrounding landscape.
