Beinn Ìme

The highest peak of the Arrochar Alps reaches an elevation of 1,011 meters, featuring a dome-shaped summit with extensive views across Scottish lochs and mountains.

The summit contains an oval stone enclosure that marks the boundary between the ancient kingdoms of Dalriada and Strathclyde, dating back several centuries.

The mountain's name translates from Scottish Gaelic to 'butter mountain', reflecting the traditional naming practices of the Highland communities.

Access to Beinn Ìme starts at the Succoth car park in Arrochar, with a path leading through forestry before emerging into a broad glen towards the summit.

During winter months, the mountain's slopes accumulate snow, requiring specialized equipment such as ice axes and crampons for safe navigation.
