Beinn an Dòthaidh, Mountain summit in Bridge of Orchy hills, Scotland.
Beinn an Dòthaidh is a mountain summit at approximately 1000 m where steep slopes lead to a cairn on top. From there views spread across Loch Tulla and the surrounding moorland, with the landscape appearing flat and expansive around it.
The name comes from Gaelic language and means 'hill of the scorching or singeing' in the traditional naming of Scottish mountains. This naming reflects how local people labeled the landscape over centuries.
The mountain is part of the Munros, a collection of Scottish peaks that mountaineers pursue through systematic ascents. The summit area is valued by walkers for its open vistas where the highlands stretch out below.
The ascent starts at Bridge of Orchy railway station, from where a path leads to the pass between this mountain and Beinn Dorain. The route requires good footwear and should be approached with care during poor weather.
During winter months the rock faces at Coire Daingean offer technical climbing routes of varying difficulty. These hidden routes challenge more experienced mountaineers away from the main walking paths.
