Beinn Each

About Beinn Each

Rising steeply above the eastern shores of Loch Lubnaig, this Corbett offers a surprisingly sharp, rocky character for its height. Often paired with its loftier neighbour, Stùc a' Chroin, the climb from Ardchullarie More follows a winding forest track before opening onto a fine, narrow ridge with expansive views across the Trossachs.

Did You Know?

• •The name Beinn Each translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Horse Hill'. This likely refers to the hill’s use as high-altitude grazing land for hardy Highland ponies or perhaps its silhouette when viewed from certain angles in the glen.
• •The summit provides an exceptional vantage point for studying the geography of the Trossachs, with the long ribbon of Loch Lubnaig visible directly below and the massive twin silhouettes of Ben More and Stob Binnein dominating the northern horizon.
• •It is frequently climbed as a precursor to the Munro Stùc a' Chroin. The two are linked by a rugged ridge that drops into the Bealach nan Cabar, offering a much more alpine feel than the initial grassy slopes suggest.
• •The approach from Glen Ample follows a historic corridor once used by Highland drovers moving cattle from the north down toward the great markets, or trysts, at Crieff and Falkirk.
• •While officially a Corbett, the final ascent to the summit ridge is sufficiently steep and relentless that you may find yourself wishing the 'horse' in the name was available to carry you the last few hundred metres.
