Hidden from most roadside views, Beinn Dearg is remote Munro mountain in the Atholl wilderness. Beinn Dearg's summit is composed of red granite boulders that sit above a vast expanse of heather moorland.

In the glens below Beinn Dearg there is a network of estate tracks, ideal for cycling on. Higher up there is a path along Beinn Dearg's crest, but veer away from this and you'll be on pathless terrain in a remote wilderness.
