Beinn Ghuilbin

Rising above the upper reaches of Glen Garry near the A9 corridor, this rounded Grampian peak offers a straightforward ascent onto the high moorland. Classified as a Hump and Tump, its 579m summit provides a distinctive perspective of the Cairngorms to the north and the rolling Drumochter hills to the west.

• •The name translates from Gaelic as 'beak mountain', likely referencing the sharp profile of its southern slopes or the curlews—known in Gaelic as guilbneach—that frequent the surrounding peat bogs.
• •From the summit, walkers are rewarded with a clear view of the Pass of Drumochter and the distinctive, symmetrical cone of Schiehallion visible to the south on clear days.
• •The hill's location near Dalnacardoch makes it an accessible objective for those travelling the main route between Perth and Aviemore who want a quick escape from the tarmac into the Highland quiet.
• •At 1,900ft exactly, it provides a respectable day's exertion while remaining just low enough to ensure you won't have to share the cairn with a crowd of Munro baggers.
