Gulvain
(Gaor Bheinn)A mountain in the Lochaber district of Highland Council Area, Gulvain rises to a height of 987m (3238 feet) to the south of Loch Arkaig. Its massive peak is composed of banded granite which forms steep slabs on its western flank and its name is possibly derived from the Gaelic Gaor Bheinn or 'filthy hill'.
