Beinn an Lochain is a mountain in the
Sir Hugh Munro's original list of Scottish mountains over 3000 feet,[1] subsequent surveys showed it to be significantly shorter than the 914.4 m cut-off limit required to count as a Munro
. Nonetheless, it remains a popular mountain, and is often quoted as an example of an interesting mountain below 3000 feet to show that there is more to mountaineering in Scotland than just Munro-bagging.
Beinn an Lochain is usually climbed from the
Glen Kinglas
. From there, the summit is reached after a 2.5 km walk along the mountain's north-east ridge, climbing over 700 m.
