Detailed route description and map

Beinn Dearg Munros circuit from Inverlael

Other routes and challenges

The quickest approach to Beinn Dearg is via the route given above, even if not continuing to the other three Munros. A possible but eccentric alternative would be to use the Beinn Enaiglair stalkers' paths and then ascend via Iorguill, enabling the Corbett to be included.

A possible extension to the round given would be to include Seana Bhràigh - but this would be an extremely epic outing beyond the reach of most hillwalkers.
