Beinn Bhreac, Mountain summit in Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.
The 850-meter high Beinn Bhreac features a combination of heather-covered slopes, rocky outcrops, and steep paths leading to the mountain peak.
The mountain's name originates from the Gaelic language, translating to 'Speckled Mountain' due to the varied coloration of its rock formations.
Local shepherds continue their traditional practices around Beinn Bhreac, maintaining centuries-old methods of Highland sheep farming throughout the seasons.
Hikers should pack essential supplies and check weather forecasts before ascending, as the nearest facilities are located in the town of Aviemore.
The mountain's location in Aberdeenshire provides opportunities to observe red deer, golden eagles, and numerous species of moorland birds in their natural habitat.
