About Baosbheinn
Baosbheinn lies in the Torridon country of the Northwest Highlands, within the Flowerdale deer forest and around 39 km north-north-east of Kyle of Lochalsh. Its setting is a notably remote one, well back from the roads that thread this part of Wester Ross, and at 875 m it is counted a Corbett.
