Benmore, a mountain range in Glenshiel parish, Rossshire, extending from near the head of Loch Duich, about 13 miles east-south-eastward into junction with the Inverness-shire mountains of Glen Moriston. A middle range between the parallel ranges of Ben Attow and Maol Cheann-dearg, it has pyramidal summits culminating in Sgurr Fhuaran at 3505 feet above sea-level; and, together with the neighbouring ranges, it forms a surpassingly fine piece of alpine scenery.
