Beinn Bhrotain, Mountain summit in Cairngorms National Park, Scotland
Beinn Bhrotain rises to 1157 meters with steep northern slopes descending into Glen Geusachan and features granite boulders scattered across its summit plateau.
The mountain's name originates from Gaelic language, translating to 'Hill of the Mastiff' and appears in 18th-century Scottish mapping documentation.
Many Scottish mountaineers include Beinn Bhrotain in their Munro-bagging expeditions, following traditional Highland climbing practices through the Cairngorm ranges.
The primary access routes begin at Linn of Dee car park or Achlean in Glen Feshie, requiring extensive hiking through remote terrain.
The mountain presents challenging navigation conditions across its broad plateau, particularly when connecting to neighboring peak Monadh Mor.
