Bynack More

Bynack More is a summit in the Cairngorms National Park, rising to 1,198 meters above sea level. The peak displays rocky granite outcrops and commands views across the Scottish Highlands landscape.

Local communities used the slopes for grazing over many centuries as part of their farming practices. The mountain shaped the agricultural patterns of the surrounding region for generations.

The name derives from Gaelic 'A' Bheithneag Mhòr', reflecting the strong connection between Scottish geographical features and the Gaelic language.

Hiking routes to the peak start from the valley near Nethy Bridge. The best visiting season runs from June through September when weather tends to be more stable.

The summit contains distinctive geological formations of granite and schist, supporting specialized plant species adapted to high altitudes.
