Beinn an Lochain was classified as a Munro on Sir Hugh's original list. More recent surveys put it well below 3000 feet but it is very steep and fine mountain that admits no inferiority to the surrounding higher peaks. It gives a short but strenuous hillwalk.

Terrain

Boggy at first then a very steep ascent of a fine rocky ridge, but the scrambling is only mild.

Public Transport

None.

Start

Layby on A83 north of Rest and Be Thankful. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
