About Beinn Udlaidh
Rising above Glen Orchy near Tyndrum, Beinn Udlaidh is a Grampian hill whose summit is a plateau rather than a peak. Its northern flank is cut into by corries, giving that side a rougher profile than the broad top suggests.
A quartzite dyke runs down the northern side, dropping from the summit ridge the whole way to Glen Orchy — an unusual line to pick out on the hillside. The hill sits in Argyll and Bute and carries Corbett and Marilyn status.

Finding the summit
