Ben Challum
(Beinn Challum)

A mountain in NW Stirling, Ben Challum (Gael: Beinn Challum), rising to a height of 1025m (3363 feet), is the most prominent peak at the head of Glen Lochay and is located 4 miles (6.5 km) east of Tyndrum. A large cairn overlooking the steep and rocky north face is the true summit and is located behind the southern top. Its name is derived from the Gaelic for "Malcolm's Hill".
