About Creach Bheinn
Creach Bheinn is the prominent high point of the Morvern district on Scotland's west coast. Its slopes are less steep than those of Garbh Bheinn to the north, and it sees fewer ascents than that neighbour, but the outlook south and west over the islands is open and far-reaching.
