Beinn Tulaichean

About Beinn Tulaichean

Beinn Tulaichean is closely tied to Cruach Ardrain, effectively its southern top: the drop between the two is only about 120 m before the ground rises again to the larger hill.

It stands roughly 10 km north of Loch Katrine, close to the site of Rob Roy MacGregor's house.

Which hill this one belongs to

Beinn Tulaichean is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Cruach Ardrain (1,046 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 824 m.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
