About Beinn a' Bhuiridh
Beinn a' Bhuiridh is the easternmost summit of the Ben Cruachan horseshoe, in the Grampians west of Dalmally in Argyll and Bute. A steep northern flank separates it from the rest of the ridge, and walkers commonly take it in along with its neighbours rather than on its own.
It stands at 898.4 m and is classed a Corbett, with Marilyn, HuMP and Simm status.
