Beinn an Fheoir, located in Ross-shire, Scotland, is a prominent hill/mountain with a height of 849 meters (2,785 feet). It is situated within the stunning Torridon mountain range, known for its rugged beauty and dramatic landscapes. Beinn an Fheoir is located about 10 kilometers (6 miles) northeast of the village of Kinlochewe.

The hill/mountain is characterized by its steep slopes and rocky terrain, making it a challenging yet rewarding destination for hikers and mountaineers. Its distinctive shape and prominent position offer breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Loch Maree to the west and the Torridon Mountains to the east.

Beinn an Fheoir is popular among outdoor enthusiasts due to its proximity to other notable peaks in the Torridon range, such as Beinn Eighe and Liathach. Many hikers choose to include Beinn an Fheoir as part of a longer trek through the mountains, taking advantage of the interconnected trail network.

The hill/mountain is covered in heather and grass, providing a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including red deer, mountain hares, and various bird species. The Torridon area is also known for its diverse flora, with rare alpine plants thriving in the higher elevations.

Access to Beinn an Fheoir is typically gained from the Kinlochewe side, where there are parking facilities and well-defined paths leading to the summit. It is important for visitors to be well-prepared with appropriate clothing, equipment, and navigational skills, as the weather conditions can change rapidly in this mountainous region.
