A' Bhuidheanach Bheag

Located east of Loch Ericht in Perth and Kinross, A' Bhuidheanach Bheag rises to a height of 936m (3070 feet). Its name is Gaelic and means "cairn of the curve". The mountain forms a broad rounded mass, without any sharp or jagged points and the principal summit lies 2 miles (3 km) east of the Pass of Drumochter and is marked by an Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar. A nameless summit a quarter-mile (0.5 km) to the west reaches exactly the same height, as does a further summit situated a similar distance to the northeast, which is named A' Bhuidheanach Mhor. Meall a' Chaorainn is a subsidiary summit, lying a mile (1.5 km) to the west.
