Baosbheinn is a rugged, remote Corbett set above Flowerdale Forest just north of Torridon. Its long, multi-topped ridge—whose name is often rendered as “wizard’s hill”—gives superb vantage points over the Torridon giants and the north-west coast, with big skies and sweeping views the whole way along.
Most walkers tackle Baosbheinn via the excellent estate track from Am Feur-loch (Loch Bad an Sgalaig) by the A832. This is a rough but cyclable approach to reach Loch na h-Oidhche, from where, a classic circuit links Beinn an Eòin and Baosbheinn.
