About Beinn an Oir
Beinn an Òir, whose Gaelic name means mountain of gold, is the highest of the three Paps of Jura and the highest point on the island at 785 metres, which makes it a Corbett.
Walkers commonly take it with its two companions, Beinn Shiantaidh and Beinn a' Chaolais; whichever order is chosen, Beinn an Òir tends to come second. It can also be reached on its own from either of the bealachs separating it from the neighbouring Paps.
