Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Chuirn is the highest peak in a short range of hills located between Glen Lochy and Glen Cononish and can be ascended from either glen. The shorter route is from Glen Lochy and this also avoids the mining activity on the southern slopes of this mountain. The Glen Lochy approach requires the River Lochy to be crossed, there is a rail bridge but no foot bridge at this point. Beinn Chuirn is a craggy hill but the rocky outcrops are scattered and can be avoided.

I climbed this peak from Glen Orchy - NOT RECOMMENDED for anything other than for those short of time. A steep pathless pull up to the summit missing much of the local interest.

Took the bike from Tyndrum lower up to Cononish, left the bike at the bottom of Eas Anie (waterfall).... old gold mine activity has left behind an appalling mess of dilapidated cabins, junk, mine cars, cores etc...what a mess !...steep grass and loose rock to main ridge then a pleasant scoot up the stony ridge...this hill gives great views 360 deg...from the neighbours of Lui, Oss etc to distant Arran and Arrochar area...good for a shortish day.
