Beinn Udlamain, Mountain summit in Drumochter Pass, Scotland
Beinn Udlamain is a mountain summit in Scotland that rises 1011 meters above sea level with a north-south ridge. This ridge extends for more than 1.5 kilometers at elevations above 970 meters.
The mountain bears old iron fence posts that once marked the boundary between Perthshire and Invernesshire. These posts served as navigation aids during poor visibility and show a long history of boundary marking in the region.
The Gaelic name means 'Gloomy Mountain', coming from the word Ùdlaidh. This name reflects how locals have understood the mountain's harsh character for centuries.
The ascent starts at the A9 road near Drumochter Pass and follows Coire Dhomhain to reach the south ridge. The ridge is exposed, so plan your visit during clear weather for safety and better visibility.
The mountain contains two grassy corries on its northern side, Glas-choire and Fraoch-choire, that channel water northwest into Loch Ericht. These natural drainage systems shape the landscape and create distinctive features of the terrain.
