Beinn Mheadhoin West Top

Rising above the rugged landscape of Morvern, this secondary summit offers a quieter perspective on the Ardgour hills. The terrain is typical of the North West Highlands—a mix of granite outcrops and boggy troughs. It provides an excellent vantage point over the winding waters of Loch Sunart and the Sound of Mull.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic 'Beinn Mheadhoin', meaning 'Middle Hill'. In the context of Morvern, it sits as a central hub between the coastal fringes and the higher, more isolated inland peaks of the Ardgour forest.
• •This summit is the western outlier of the main 638-metre Beinn Mheadhoin. While the main peak is a Graham, this top is classified as a Tump, requiring a distinct drop and rise to reach it from the primary ridge.
• •The view to the west is particularly striking, looking directly down the length of Loch Sunart toward the volcanic silhouette of Ben Hiant and the distant peaks of the Isle of Rum.
• •The surrounding slopes are notably wild and roadless; walkers often share the granite slabs with red deer and golden eagles, which are frequently sighted hunting over the neighbouring Beinn na h-Uamha.
• •While it is named the 'Middle Hill', visitors usually find it is situated in the middle of some of the most pathless and deceptively rough terrain in the region.
