Beinn Larachan

Rising to 589 metres in the rough country north of Loch Lomond, this modest summit occupies terrain characterised by forestry, boggy plateaus, and broken ground. The hill's position offers views across Glen Falloch and towards the southern Highlands, though reaching the summit involves navigating through commercial woodland and pathless terrain that demands sound navigation skills.

• •The name Beinn Larachan derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'beinn' meaning mountain and 'larachan' likely referring to a mare or possibly a place of ruins, though the precise origin of the second element remains uncertain in historical records.
• •Despite its modest height, the hill's classification as both a Dodd and a Tump reflects its prominence above the surrounding landscape, rising over 150 metres clear of neighbouring cols.
• •The summit sits amidst extensive commercial forestry plantations that have transformed much of the lower slopes since the mid-20th century, making route-finding more challenging than the height alone might suggest.
