Beinn Tarsuinn

A remote peak capped with quartzite in Wester Ross, Beinn Tarsuinn rises to 936m (3071 feet) 7 miles (11 km) north of Kinlochleven. The paths to the summit are often boggy. While the lower ridge is gently angled, the upper sandstone ridge is much steeper. Its name is derived from the Gaelic for "transverse hill".
