Beinn Dorain is one of the most iconic and visually striking mountains in the Scottish Highlands, towering majestically above the village of Bridge of Orchy. Standing at 1,076 metres (3,530 feet), this Munro is a favourite among hikers and climbers, offering a rewarding ascent with breathtaking views. The mountain’s distinctive conical shape, often seen rising dramatically from the A82 road, makes it one of the most photographed peaks in Scotland.

The climb to Beinn Dorain’s summit is relatively straightforward, beginning from the Bridge of Orchy railway station, and follows a well-trodden path that offers stunning panoramas at every stage. On a clear day, the summit provides sweeping vistas across Rannoch Moor and the surrounding mountains, making the effort well worth it. Beinn Dorain is not just a mountain; it’s a symbol of the wild beauty and rugged grandeur that defines the Scottish Highlands.
