Mountain Description
Luinne Bheinn is a steep sided and rocky mountain in the remote Rough Bounds of Knoydart. Its summit ridge has two tops, the summit to the W and the East Top (937m). The N slopes of Luinne Bheinn are complex with many ridges and corries. At the summit three ridges converge, the NW ridge to Mam Barrisdale being the usual ascent route. A further three ridges converge at the East Top, a broad craggy NE ridge, a narrow E ridge to Mam Unndalain from where a path leads to Barrisdale Bothy, and a SSE ridge which forms a col with Meall Coire na Gaothe'n Ear leading to Meal Buidhe.

The ridge between Luinne Bheinn & Meall Buidhe is tough going. I would not like to do this in thick weather as navigating could be difficult and time consuming. Other than that, spectacular situation. One of the best areas in Scotland. Keep for a good day(s).
