Finding the summit

The recorded summit point is rock at base of large cairn. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

The Beinn a' Ghlo - Carn nan Gabhar group
One other listed summit sits in the same prominence group, with Beinn a' Ghlo - Carn nan Gabhar as the independent hill at its head.
| Summit | Height | Drop |
|---|---|---|
| Airgiod Bheinn | 1,062 m | 53 m |
Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
