Beinn Bhàn, Mountain summit in Northwest Highlands, Scotland.
Beinn Bhàn rises to 796 meters above sea level, featuring three distinct corries and a two-kilometer summit ridge overlooking the surrounding Highland landscape.
The mountain slopes served as training grounds for British Commandos and United States Army Rangers during World War II, utilizing the depot at Achnacarry Castle.
The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as White Hill, reflecting the extended presence of snow on its peak compared to neighboring mountains.
Climbers can access the summit through multiple routes, with the southern approach from Inverskilavulin in Glen Loy providing the most established path.
The mountain contains 47 documented climbing routes across its sandstone faces, with each corrie offering different levels of technical challenges.
