About Beinn Challuim

Ben Challum, listed here as Beinn Challuim, rises north of Strath Fillan between Crianlarich and Tyndrum. It reaches 1025m (3,363 ft) with 450m of prominence. Beinn Challuim South Top lies 0.7 km to the south, Stob nan Clach 2.9 km north, and Beinn Sheasgarnaich, the nearest higher hill, 6.7 km north.
