Beinn nan Gabhar

Rising above the southern shore of Loch Linnhe in Argyll, this 572-metre summit offers a compact ascent with rewarding views across the sea loch to the hills of Ardgour. The name translates from Gaelic as 'hill of the goats', likely reflecting its use as rough grazing ground in centuries past.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'beinn' meaning hill or mountain and 'nan gabhar' meaning 'of the goats', suggesting this was historically used as summer grazing for goats or goat-like livestock on its rough upper slopes.
• •The summit sits close to the route of the A828, making it one of the more accessible Dodds in this stretch of coastal Argyll, though the ascent still requires around 550 metres of climbing from near sea level.
• •Views from the top extend across Loch Linnhe to the distinctive peak of Garbh Bheinn in Ardgour, with Glencoe's ridges visible to the northeast on clear days.
