Corra Bheinn

Rising above the head of Glen More on the Isle of Mull, this rugged Marilyn offers a quieter alternative to the neighbouring Munro, Ben More. Its steep, terraced slopes provide a classic Hebridean feel, leading to a summit with expansive views across Loch Scridain and the long finger of the Ross of Mull.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic Corra Bheinn, where 'corra' usually signifies something pointed, jutting, or uneven, aptly describing the hill's rugged, terraced profile when viewed from the glen below.
• •The ascent from the A849 requires navigating typical Hebridean 'trap' topography, consisting of a series of steep basalt steps and level, often boggy, grassy ledges.
• •From the summit, walkers are rewarded with a clear perspective of the dramatic south face of Ben More and the distant, distinctive profiles of the Paps of Jura across the Firth of Lorne.
• •It serves as a perfect refuge for those who find the summit of nearby Ben More a little too busy, offering the same Atlantic air with significantly fewer people to share it with.
