Beinn Teallach, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
Description
Beinn Teallach is a mountain summit in the Scottish Highlands with steep eastern slopes descending sharply into the valley. The peak rises to about 915 meters above the surrounding landscape near Glen Spean.
History
The mountain was once classified as the highest Corbett but was reclassified after precise measurements showed it qualified as a Munro. This change gave it a new standing among Scottish summit classifications.
Culture
The mountain attracts Scottish hikers who often pair it with the neighboring peak for a traditional climbing route. This combination remains popular among those exploring the local highlands.
Practical
The hike starts from Roughburn near Loch Laggan dam and is a demanding full-day outing requiring steady climbing. Visitors should expect exposed terrain and plan for changing mountain weather conditions.
Did you know?
The true summit is easy to miss because it stands only slightly higher than a more obvious stone cairn located nearby. This subtle difference often surprises hikers when they reach the top.
