Beinn nan Lus

Tucked away in the remote hinterland between Glen Kinglass and Glen Etive, this Graham offers a solitary experience far from the Munro-bagging crowds. Its grassy, often pathless slopes require careful navigation, rewarding the effort with intimate views of the rugged Ben Starav and the formidable northern ridges of the Cruachan range.

• •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Hill of the Herbs' or 'Hill of the Plants', likely referring to a historical abundance of specific alpine flora or medicinal plants gathered by local shepherds on its relatively green slopes.
• •Due to its isolated position, the hill is most commonly reached via the long, scenic track through Glen Kinglass from Taynuilt, or as a demanding extension to the circuit of the neighbouring Munros, Beinn a' Chochuill and Beinn Eunaich.
• •The summit provides a distinct vantage point over the 'Etive Slabs' and the massive, craggy southern face of Ben Starav, a perspective hidden from walkers who remain on the main glen paths.
• •Should you encounter another person on these pathless slopes, it is customary to check your map immediately, as at least one of you is almost certainly lost.
