Beinn a' Chaorainn, Mountain summit in Lochaber, Scotland.
Beinn a' Chaorainn stands at 1,052 meters in elevation, featuring a north-south ridge with three distinct peaks along its 1.5-kilometer summit span.
The central peak gained recognition as the highest point following a detailed survey conducted in 1974, altering previous understandings of the mountain's topography.
The mountain's name derives from Gaelic language, translating to 'Mountain of the Rowan Tree', reflecting the traditional naming patterns of Scottish highlands.
Hikers can start their ascent from Roughburn on the A86 road, with designated parking facilities available at Loch Laggan Dam 700 meters southwest.
The eastern side of the mountain displays pronounced crags at Coire na h-Uamha, while coniferous plantations cover the lower slopes up to 400 meters.
