Beinn an Lochain
Beinn an Lochain is a mountain in the Arrochar Alps in western Scotland. A Corbett, reaching 901.7 metres (2,958 ft), Beinn an Lochain is situated within the Argyll Forest Park, which is itself within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.[2][3][4] Although included in Sir Hugh Munro's original list of Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet (914.4 metres) summit elevation, [5] subsequent surveys showed it to be significantly shorter than this. Nonetheless, it remains a popular mountain, and is often quoted as an example of an interesting mountain below the Munro threshold to show that there is more to mountaineering in Scotland than just Munro-bagging. Beinn an Lochain is usually climbed from the car park at Butter Bridge, on the A83, in Glen Kinglas. From there, the summit is reached after a 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) walk along the mountain's north-east ridge, climbing over 700 metres (2,300 ft).[6] The mountain trail offers views of Loch Restil and the pass between Glen Croe and Glen Kinglas.[7][8] See alsoReferences
