Beinn Tallaidh It seems that once again the Ordnance Survey is claiming a height of 763m for this distinctive conical hill.  That would stick it back into Corbett's Tables.  A differential GPS survey in 2009 gave a height of 761.7m and it really could do with a repeat survey.  Worth a visit for its central position and views.

Beinn Talaidh from Glen Cannel A regular cone and landmark seen over a wide area. Covered in fine basalt screes, it is an easy ascent from Glen Forsa, if you dodge the infamous cows. Most however go up from the road through Glen More.

Steep slope to south of Beinn Talaidh Although the slope lies to the south of Beinn Talaidh, it actually faces south-west, out over the valley of the Allt a' Mhàim. Through that valley and beyond are the sea loch, Loch na Keal and then nearer Loch Ba, which has fresh water.

Snow cover at summit of Beinn Talaidh The flat summit of Beinn Talaidh looking east from beside the trig point.
Ben More is the main mountain in the distance.
At the time the image was made, Beinn Talaidh was classified as a Corbett; it has since been 'demoted' to Graham status - at least it's the highest of them.
