About Beinn Fhionnlaidh
This Beinn Fhionnlaidh stands on the southern shore of Loch Mullardoch, at the far end of Glen Cannich and roughly 60 km west of Inverness. The loch on one side and the length of the glen on the other make it a hill defined largely by the distance needed to reach it. Note that the name is shared with other Scottish summits, so check which one is meant when planning.
