Beinn Odhar, Mountain summit in Tyndrum, Scotland
The 901-meter-high Beinn Odhar presents a conical shape with steep slopes and rises prominently above the surrounding Highland landscape near Loch Lomond National Park.
Mining operations on Beinn Odhar's southern slopes yielded less lead than neighboring Beinn Chùirn, though remnants of the extraction activities remain visible today.
The name Beinn Odhar derives from Gaelic language elements, translating to 'Dun Colored Mountain' in reference to the brownish-grey vegetation covering its surface.
The ascent begins from three access points near Tyndrum, with the southern route following the West Highland Way on a former main road dating from the 1930s.
Two small mountain lakes, including Lochan Choire Dhuibh at 800 meters elevation, feed streams that carve deep ravines into the southern slopes.
