About Beinn Churalain NE Top
A subsidiary summit perched on the northeastern shoulder of Beinn Churalain in the western Scottish Highlands, this 534-metre Dodd offers a relatively straightforward ascent from the main peak. The terrain is typical of this rugged coastal region, with grassy slopes and scattered rocky outcrops. Usually climbed in combination with its parent hill rather than as a standalone objective.

Did You Know?
- •The name Beinn Churalain derives from the Scottish Gaelic 'beinn' meaning mountain, though the second element 'churalain' remains obscure in its etymology, possibly relating to a personal name or a corrupted form of a landscape descriptor.
- •As a Dodd, this summit qualifies as one of the hills in the Scottish Highlands between 500 and 600 metres with a drop of at least 30 metres on all sides, a classification created by Rob Woodall and Alan Dawson.
- •The hill sits in an area where coastal mountains rise sharply from sea level, typical of the deeply indented western seaboard of the Scottish Highlands near Loch Linnhe.
