About Beinn a' Bheithir - Sgorr Dhearg
Sgorr Dhearg is the highest summit of Beinn a' Bheithir, the horseshoe of peaks that rises behind Ballachulish at the mouth of Loch Leven. It is a Munro and a Marilyn. Sgorr Bhan, a top, lies 0.6 km to the east, and the other Munro of the group, Sgorr Dhonuill, is 1.7 km to the west. Stob Coire nam Beith, 8.3 km to the east in Glen Coe, is the nearest higher mountain.
