Hear pronunciation Press to hear pronunciation

Beinn Fhionnlaidh is a frustrating Munro for baggers, being out on the inaccessible ridge running north from Càrn Eige. Loch Mullardoch guards the foot of this ridge so most baggers have to climb over Càrn Eige twice to get out and back from this peak.
