About Beinn Bheag
Beinn Bheag lies in the Ardgour district of Lochaber, west of Corran. It is one of three peaks forming an east-facing horseshoe, the others being Garbh Bheinn and Sgorr Mhic Eacharna, so it is usually considered alongside them rather than alone. Ascents generally begin from the A861.
