Beinn Mhòr, Mountain summit in South Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
Beinn Mhòr rises to 620 meters above sea level, forming the highest elevation point across the entire Uist island chain in the Outer Hebrides.
The mountain stands as a geographic marker that has guided local inhabitants through generations, serving as a navigation point for island communities.
The name Beinn Mhòr derives from Scottish Gaelic language, translating to 'Big Mountain' and reflecting the strong linguistic heritage of the Hebrides.
Hikers can access the mountain from Loch Dobhrain at Snishival, with a two-hour approach required to reach the base of the Heileasdale Buttresses.
Seven distinct buttresses separated by six gullies characterize the north-facing Heileasdale section, creating a notable geological formation south of the summit.
