Ben Challum, Highland summit in Breadalbane region, Scotland.
Ben Challum reaches 1,025 meters in elevation, featuring three distinct ridges and two corries that drain into both the Firth of Tay and Clyde.
The mountain's name changed from Beinn Challuim to Ben Challum over time, with origins linked to Saint Columba, known as Calum Cille in Scottish Gaelic.
Saint Fillan established a priory at the mountain's southwestern foothills, marking the spread of Christianity from Iona monastery into the Breadalbane region.
The primary ascent route begins at Kirkton Farm, crossing the A82 road and following the West Highland Way before navigating steep, grassy slopes to the summit.
The northern face presents steep, rocky terrain contrasting with the smoother southern slopes visible from the A82 road near Strath Fillan.
