Beinn Fhada is a long, broad-shouldered hill lying to the north-east of Ben More, overlooking Loch na Keal on the Isle of Mull.

Although it appears very much a subsidiary top of its larger neighbour, sufficient prominence separates it from Ben More for it to qualify as a Graham in its own right.

Its lower slopes are predominantly grassy and gently rising, becoming increasingly stony higher up with patches of scree leading towards a rocky summit area. A small lochan sits just below the final pull, adding character to the upper slopes.

A faint path traces much of the broad crest, giving relatively straightforward progress along its length. Beinn Fhada may be visited as part of a longer circuit via A' Chioch, or undertaken on its own for a quieter outing. In either case, its open aspect gives fine views across Mull and towards the surrounding mainland mountains.
