About Beinn Fhada
Beinn Fhada, sometimes written Ben Attow, is a big, sprawling mountain in Kintail, east of Morvich and north of the Five Sisters. Its name means long hill. It is a Munro and a Marilyn. Sgurr a' Dubh Doire lies 1.8 km to the east and Meall an Fhuarain Mhoir 1.9 km to the west. Sgurr Fhuaran, the nearest higher hill, stands 4.7 km to the south-west.
The standard route starts at Morvich. You follow the path up Gleann Choinneachain and then a stalkers' path that zigzags into Coire an Sgairne and onto the broad plateau, known as the Plaide Mhor. From there a short walk east reaches the summit.
The plateau is wide and pathless in places. In mist, careful map and compass work stops you straying onto the steep ground on its northern edge.
Beinn Fhada is 1,032 m (3,385 ft) high with 647 m of prominence. It is in Highland, Scotland. It is the 99th highest of the 1,458 summits Peakify lists in Highland. The nearest summits are Meall a' Bhealaich (1.9 km), A' Ghlas-bheinn South Top (2.8 km) and Sgurr a' Dubh Doire (1.8 km).
