About Beinn Talaidh
Beinn Talaidh occupies the mountainous middle of Mull, and its outline is a near-symmetrical cone. The south side is steep; the northern approach along Glen Forsa is gentler.
For years it was reckoned a Corbett, until a resurvey found it slightly lower than had been thought and it was reclassified as a Graham. It remains the highest of the 219 Grahams in Scotland.

Finding the summit
ground is 0.23m higher than base of trig point; base of cairn 25m SW at NM 62536 34680 is about 0.8m lower.
The recorded summit point is ground 5m E of trig point. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.
