About Beinn Tarsuinn
Beinn Tarsuinn is the most southerly of the four Corbetts on Arran, set between Glen Rosa on the east and Glen Iorsa on the west.
A rocky ridge links it to Cìr Mhòr by way of the subsidiary top of A' Chìr, and the two peaks are often taken together. Crossing A' Chìr involves scrambling, though a path along the western side of that ridge avoids it. Two ridges flank Coire a' Bhradain and both fall to Glen Rosa, which is the usual way in to this group.
