Fionn Bheinn

Fionn Bheinn is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands standing at 933 meters with contrasting terrain on different sides. The northern face drops steeply while the southern side slopes more gently through grassland toward Loch Fannich.

The peak was included in Sir Hugh Munro's first official list of Scottish mountains above 914 meters in 1891. This classification established it as a significant mountain in climbing tradition.

The name Fionn Bheinn comes from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'white hill' because of how the peak appears in winter. This reflects a local tradition of naming mountains after their most visible characteristics.

Most routes start from Achnasheen village and follow the Allt Achadh na Sine stream upward on marked paths to the summit. The trail is reasonably clear but sturdy footwear and good navigation skills are helpful in poor weather.

The summit holds a triangulation point that was part of Scotland's historic surveying network. This marker was used during the systematic mapping work of the 19th century.
