About Beinn a' Chochuill
East of Loch Etive in Argyll and Bute, Beinn a' Chochuill is largely screened from view by the bulk of the Ben Cruachan range, and gets less attention as a result. Its summit sits along a long ridge and looks across to Cruachan.
The usual outing pairs it with its neighbour Beinn Eunaich. Lochawe is the nearest village.
