Beinn Damh
Beinn Damh rises above Scots Pine forests on the south shore of Loch Torridon, a fine mountain smaller than nearby Munros but equally dramatic.

On the southern side of Loch Torridon, Beinn Damh towers above coniferous and Scot's Pine forests. Heather clad slopes lead to grass and boulderfields with the conspicuous "Stirrup Mark" to the south west of the summit - a semi circular area of white quartzite surrounded by grey rock seen most clearly from the south.
To most fit walkers, bagging Beinn Damh will be a jaunt of just a few hours, leaving tìme to hike other peaks in the day. Beinn Damh is also a fine backup option when a planned hike in the nearby Torridon Munros is thwarted due to poor weather conditions on these higher peaks.
