Beinn Mhòr, Mountain summit in Cowal Peninsula, Scotland
Beinn Mhòr is a mountain on the Cowal Peninsula in Scotland's Argyll and Bute region. The peak rises prominently from the surrounding landscape and offers sweeping views over hills and valleys from its summit.
The name comes from Scottish Gaelic, with 'Beinn' meaning mountain and 'Mhòr' meaning great. This naming reflects the region's long connection to Gaelic language and heritage.
The mountain forms part of the Grampian Mountains range and sits within the boundaries of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
The route starts at Stoneyfield in Glen Massan and follows forestry tracks before opening onto open hillside. Near the summit there are no marked paths, so good navigation skills and clear weather help make the walk easier.
With a prominence of 696 meters, Beinn Mhòr ranks as the fifth most prominent peak among 2059 summits in the Argyll and Bute region.
