About Beinn Bhuidhe
Beinn Bhuidhe stands on its own at the head of Glen Fyne, north of the top of Loch Fyne in Argyll. It reaches 949m (3,114 ft) with 592m of prominence, and has no other Munro close by. Ben Lui, the nearest higher hill, lies 9.8 km to the north-east.
Walkers start near the head of Loch Fyne and follow the private road up Glen Fyne for a long way, often by bike. Beyond the end of the road a path climbs steep, wet ground beside a burn into the corrie under the summit, then gains the ridge for the final walk to the trig point.
The climb out of the glen is steep and can be slippery after rain. The summit ridge is narrow enough to need care in strong wind. On a clear day you look over the Arrochar Alps and down Loch Fyne.
Beinn Bhuidhe is 949 m (3,112 ft) high with 592 m of prominence. It is in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is the 18th highest of the 108 summits Peakify lists in Argyll and Bute. The nearest summits are Meall an Daimh (0.5 km), Stac a' Chuirn East Top (1.0 km) and Beinn Bhuidhe East Top (1.1 km).
