Beinn Bhuidhe, Mountain summit in Argyll and Bute, Scotland
Beinn Bhuidhe is an isolated peak located between Glen Fyne and Glen Shira, rising to about 950 meters (3,100 feet). The summit ridge stretches across multiple kilometers and features three distinct tops along its length.
The pathways here developed over centuries as shepherds and local people moved between Highland valleys out of necessity. These routes remain visible and traceable to this day.
The Gaelic name refers to the mountain's appearance in the Highland landscape and how shepherds historically moved through these valleys. Today, visitors following these ancient routes connect with a long tradition of mountain crossing in this region.
Access starts at Loch Fyne shoreline, where a private road transitions into steep mountain paths toward the ridge. The final approach to the summit ridge demands careful footing and sturdy hiking boots.
This mountain forms a distinctive three-part ridge formation across the moorland alongside Clachan Hill and Beinn an t-Sidhein. The arrangement creates striking visual differences depending on which direction you approach from.
