About Beinn a' Mhanaich
Beinn a' Mhanaich is the westernmost of the Luss Hills, in the southern Grampians north of Helensburgh. Its long southern ridge is its best feature. An army firing range occupies the western side of the hill, running down towards Loch Long, so signs along the ridge warrant attention.
