Beinn Bhrotain sits at the southern end of the Braeraich-Cairn Toul plateau, its rocky boulder covered summit resting above heather-clad slopes. Seen from White Bridge, Beinn Bhrotain looks a gentle mountain, but head around toward Glen Geusachan and its crags and buttresses compare well with those on the Devil's Point on the opposite side of the glen.

The most direct route to approach Beinn Bhrotain is to aim in from Linn of Dee, west of Braemar, with most people adding in nearby Monadh Mòr in a circular route. Thick heather on lower slopes gives way to delightful terrain higher up, though the boulderfield on the approach to Monadh Mòr will test ankles.

Longer alternatives head in from Glen Feshie, Glen Einich or the Làirig Ghrù and could additionally take in nearby Munros of Mullach Clach a'Bhlair and Sgòr Gaoith, Cairn Toul or Braeraich.
