In the eastern Cairngorms, Beinn a'Bhuird is a vast sprawling mountain with several tops above Munro height. The mountain's western slopes are grass and heather clad and rise to arctic-like tundra higher up. Beinn a'Bhuird's eastern face is lined with massive cliffs and crags overlooking a series of dark coires.

Various routes can be used to reach Beinn a'Bhuird, most of which travel along estate tracks to gain the foot of the mountain from where a network of constructed paths lead higher up. On the plateau, paths become faint and good navigation skills will be needed to find the tiny cairn sitting on the North Top, the summit of Beinn a'Bhuird.
