Beinn Heasgarnich Terrain Block

Beinn Heasgarnich is a high, bulky mountain located in the remote country between Glen Lyon and Glen Lochay. It is a deceptively large hill, with a broad summit plateau that can be confusing in mist. The slopes are grassy and steep, leading to a surprisingly stony top. It is often climbed with Creag Mhòr, requiring a significant descent and re-ascent between the two.

About Beinn Heasgarnich

The name 'Hill of the Sheltering Place' suggests it offered refuge, perhaps to deer or cattle in its deep corries. It lies in a quiet part of the Southern Highlands, often bypassed by those sticking to the main road summits, preserving a sense of quiet.
