About Beinn Mhor

Beinn Mhòr is the highest mountain on the Cowal Peninsula, standing west of Loch Eck in Argyll and Bute and within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

Its prominence is high relative to its 741.5 m of height, which gives the summit a wide outlook in all directions. On the lower ground to the east, Benmore Botanic Garden occupies part of the slopes and includes an outdoor centre at Benmore House.
