Beinn nan Imirean

Tucked away in the shadow of Meall Glas, this rounded Corbett offers a quieter alternative to the busier Munros of the Crianlarich hills. Its broad, grassy slopes provide steady walking, leading to a summit ridge that reveals an exceptional perspective over the wild, undulating plateau of the Mamlorn Forest.

• •The name derives from the Scottish Gaelic Beinn nan Imirean, which translates as 'Mountain of the Ridges' or 'Cultivation Strips', likely referring to historical land use or the tiered appearance of its lower slopes.
• •Walkers rarely visit this summit in isolation; it is almost universally paired with its higher Munro neighbour, Meall Glas, via the high, often boggy col at Lairig Thierree.
• •The summit offers a commanding and direct view south across Glen Dochart toward the massive, twin-peaked silhouettes of Ben More and Stob Binnein.
• •Despite its respectable height as a Corbett, it is frequently treated as an 'add-on' to a day's hiking, serving as a secondary objective for those who have already negotiated the unavoidable peat hags of the southern approach.
