About Beinn Luibhean
Beinn Luibhean is one of the Arrochar Alps, on the northern side of Glen Croe between Loch Long to the east and Loch Fyne to the west. The range runs from Loch Goil in the south and west towards Tyndrum in the north.
West of Loch Long the country changes character, the shoreline opening the way into Argyll and a landscape with a real sense of remoteness from the Central Belt. The hill reaches 859.7 m, with The Cobbler, Beinn Ime and Beinn Narnain as its closest neighbours.
