Beinn Bhuidhe (Glen Fyne)
Mountain Scottish Munro with steep ridges in Glen Fyne
Remote peak above Glen Fyne, accessed via Loch Fyne forest tracks. Walkers favour its ridges and views across the Firth of Clyde.
Beinn Bhuidhe (Glen Fyne) is a named mountain in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, lying above Glen Fyne. It is a distinct summit on the north side of the glen and is a recognised destination for hillwalkers.
Walks approach the summit from Glen Fyne and nearby minor roads; routes involve upland walking over open terrain and typical mountain paths. The summit provides wide views across Loch Fyne and neighbouring ridges, making it a popular local objective for day walkers.
As a natural landform it has no constructed history; its present shape reflects the geological and glacial processes that formed the Highlands. Over time it has been used for grazing and recreational hillwalking rather than permanent settlement.
The peak sits above Glen Fyne in western Scotland. The nearest settlements are small villages and rural roads in Argyll; the wider area is upland and largely rural.
- Access: Located on the north side of Glen Fyne with common ascent routes from the glen and nearby single-track roads.
- Viewing: Offers extensive upland views across Loch Fyne and surrounding ridges on clear days.
