About Beinn Fhionnlaidh
Beinn Fhionnlaidh rises at the head of Glen Creran, south of Glen Coe. It reaches 959m (3,146 ft) with 510m of prominence. Sgurr na h-Ulaidh lies 2.6 km to the north-east and is the nearest higher hill.
The usual route starts at Elleric at the end of the Glen Creran road. You walk through the forestry, then climb the long west ridge to the summit.

The west ridge is long and grassy with some rocky sections higher up. From the summit you look down Loch Creran and Loch Etive and across to Bidean nam Bian.
