Binnein Mor

About Binnein Mor

Binnein Mòr is the highest peak of the Mamores, the range filling the ground between Glen Nevis and Loch Leven, and sits about five kilometres north-north-east of Kinlochleven. Its pyramidal summit stands north of the main Mamores ridge, above the uninhabited upper reaches of Glen Nevis.

A short narrow ridge runs south to rejoin the main ridge at an unnamed 1,062 m top, listed in Munro's Tables as Binnein Mòr south top. A second subsidiary summit, Sgòr Eilde Beag at 956 m, lies about a kilometre south-east and closes the eastern end of the main ridge. Despite its height, Binnein Mòr sees fewer visitors than many Mamores, partly because of its remoteness; it is most often approached from Kinlochleven, frequently along with Na Gruagaichean to the west.

The Binnein Mor group

4 other listed summits sit in the same prominence group, with Binnein Mor as the independent hill at its head.

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.
