About Binnein Shuas
Set between Loch Laggan and Lochan na h-Earba in Inverness-shire, Binnein Shuas is a steep hill of distinct character within the Grampian Mountains. Kinloch Laggan is the closest village.
Its cliffs draw rock climbers as well as walkers, and among the routes on them is the very difficult Ardverikie Wall. That combination of crag and modest Graham height gives the hill an appeal out of proportion to its 747 m.
