Beinn a' Mheadhoin

Overlooking the Great Glen and Glen Moriston, this modest Graham offers a quieter alternative to the nearby Munros. The ascent through the Dundreggan estate reveals a rugged, heather-clad summit with exceptional, uninterrupted views across Loch Ness towards the Monadhliath and the distant peaks of Glen Affric.

• •The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic, translating to 'Middle Hill,' a fitting title for its position nestled between the Great Glen and the wilder mountain ranges of the North West Highlands.
• •The hill is situated on the Dundreggan estate, a flagship project for the 'Trees for Life' charity, which is working to restore the ancient Caledonian forest across the lower slopes.
• •From the summit cairn, the view encompasses the Great Glen fault line, offering a unique perspective of Loch Ness that few of the more popular peaks can match.
• •Despite being named the 'Middle Hill,' the ascent from the floor of Glen Moriston feels far from moderate if you stray off the established tracks into the thick, pathless heather.
