Beinn na h-Eaglaise is a rugged, characterful hill nestled between the larger peaks of the Coulin Forest, with a commanding outlook over Loch Torridon. Though modest in height, it punches above its weight in terms of scenery and terrain. Its slopes are intricately sculpted with sandstone terraces, creating a complex landscape of rocky outcrops and ledges that conceal small, hidden lochans and offer a sense of quiet remoteness.
Heading up Beinn na h-Eaglaise from The Torridon, a fine path is followed for much of the approach, leading to around 350m. Thereafter, a slope of stunted heather and grassy terrain, threading between sandstone terraces and minor crags reaches the hill's summit.
