Beinn an Lochain

Beinn an Lochain is a mountain in the Arrochar Alps on the Cowal Peninsula, in western Scotland and is a Corbett at 901.7 m. Beinn an Lochain is situated within the Argyll Forest Park which is itself within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

Although included in Sir Hugh Munro's original list of Scottish mountains over 3000 ft, 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 ft to show that there is more to mountaineering in Scotland than just Munro-bagging.

Beinn an Lochain is usually climbed from the car park at Butter Bridge, on the A83, in 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. The mountain trail offers views of Loch Restil and the pass between Glen Croe and Glen Kinglas.
