Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'big yellow mountain' (beinn bhuidhe mhòr), likely referring to the golden-brown hues of moorland grasses that dominate these eastern Highland slopes during late summer and autumn.
  • The grid reference places this hill in the country between Strathdearn and the Great Glen, an area historically used as droving routes connecting the central Highlands to markets further east.
  • As a Dodd—a classification recognising hills between 500 and 600 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence—it sits just above the threshold height, making it one of the taller examples in this category.
