About Creach Bheinn
Creach Bheinn is a large, sprawling Grampian hill above the head of Loch Creran in Argyll, with Taynuilt the nearest village to the south.
A bulldozed track climbs from Loch Creran towards the ridge, and steeper ground lies near the top. From the summit the islands of Lismore and Mull stand out clearly, along with the hills around Glen Coe.
