The hikes up Ladhar Bheinn take you into seriously phenomenal territory in Western Scotland’s incredible Knoydart region. The highest peak in the area, with a summit at 3,350 feet (1,020 m), Ladhar Bheinn is also a remote and challenging hike. With water on three sides, standing on the summit almost feels as though you’re on one of the islands rather than the mainland.

Hiking

Ladhar Bheinn is the most westerly Munro on the Scottish mainland. But its location in the expansive wilds of the Knoydart peninsular surrounded by sea and lochs on three sides give it an island feel of remoteness. With multiple summits, sculpted ridgelines, and benefited by an overnight approach, it’s a mountain full of drama and adventure.
