Beinn Fhionnlaidh, Mountain summit in the Scottish Highlands, Scotland.
Description
Beinn Fhionnlaidh is a mountain summit in the Scottish Highlands that rises to 1,005 meters and overlooks Loch Mullardoch in the north. Its steep slopes form part of a ridge system within the wild Glen Affric area.
History
The mountain gained its classification as a Munro in 1891, joining Scotland's list of prominent peaks over 914 meters in height. This distinction shaped how climbers have approached and documented the summit ever since.
Culture
The mountain draws Scottish climbers who follow established routes and share knowledge about seasonal conditions and navigation through this remote terrain. The peak represents a valued landmark within the regional climbing tradition.
Practical
The walk starts from the car park near Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin and follows Gleann nam Fiadh toward the ridge. Good hiking boots, waterproof clothing, and a map or compass are important as weather can change quickly in this exposed area.
Did you know?
The summit can be reached by different routes, and one path crosses over Càrn Eige, linking two Munro peaks in a single outing. This combination appeals to climbers who enjoy bagging multiple summits in one day.
