Beinn Narnain

Beinn Narnain is a mountain in the Arrochar Alps in Argyll and Bute that rises over steep rock paths and grassy slopes to its angular summit. The mountain sits near Loch Long and offers varied terrain for hikers and climbers.

The mountain was recorded in 1891 by Sir Hugh Munro in his catalog of Scottish peaks above 914 meters and shaped the modern definition of such mountains. This classification made it a destination for mountaineers worldwide.

The summit is part of a legendary climbing region known among mountaineers across Scotland and remains an important meeting point for people passionate about the sport. Generations of climbers have trained their skills and shared experiences here.

The ascent begins from the car park in Arrochar and follows well-marked paths, with the hike taking about four hours round trip. The terrain is challenging but accessible with proper preparation and equipment.

The southeast ridge contains rock sections requiring climbers to use hand and foot holds on exposed formations that demand sharp skills and focus. These exposed passages make this mountain an important training ground for serious mountaineers.
