About Beinn Achaladair

Roughly six kilometres to the north east of the hamlet of Bridge of Orchy, Beinn Achaladair rises to just over 1,038 metres. The summit sits astride an administrative boundary, with the ground falling away into both Argyll and Bute and Perth and Kinross, and the hill is counted among the Munros as well as carrying Marilyn, HuMP, Simm and Murdo status.

It belongs to the group of hills gathered around the Loch Rannoch to Glen Lyon area, on the eastern side of the road north from Bridge of Orchy.

The Beinn Achaladair group

One other listed summit sits in the same prominence group, with Beinn Achaladair as the independent hill at its head.

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.
