About Fionn Bheinn
Fionn Bheinn lies south of Loch Fannich in the northwestern Highlands and reaches 933 metres. The two sides of the hill are quite different in character: the southern flank is a smooth, shallow grassy slope, while the north face is steeper and generally reckoned the more striking of the two.
Achnasheen to the south is the usual starting point, with the normal line following the Allt Achadh na Sine to the nose of Creagan nan Laogh and then up grass to the top. The east ridge is a common alternative, up or down, and shows more of the north side.
