About Beinn Sheasgarnaich

Beinn Sheasgarnaich, more often written Beinn Heasgarnich, stands in the Breadalbane country of the Scottish Highlands, roughly 2 km from the southern end of Loch Lyon. It falls within Perth and Kinross, in the belt of hills between Glen Lyon and Glen Dochart.

Its 1,077 m summit puts it among the Munros, and it also carries Marilyn, HuMP, Simm and Murdo status. Beyond its position south of the loch, the published account of the hill is brief, so walkers looking for detail on its corries and ridges will need to read the map rather than rely on description.

Surveyor's note

ground 55-60m N may be as high.

The recorded summit point is large cairn. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.
