Western top of Beinn Dearg A resurvey carried out in the last few years has concluded that this is actually the highest point on Beinn Dearg, rather than the top to the north-east as previously thought. This is, therefore, the Graham summit.

Beinn Dearg View along the ridge towards the western top. Beinn Dearg has two tops of more or less identical height, so the summit is unknown. The OS have surveyed the eastern top as 1m higher at 706m, but the difference is within the margin of error for air surveys. -- Since this was submitted a resurvey using differential GPS has worked out that this, the west top is the highest summit on Beinn Dearg.
