Situated on the peninsula between Loch Eriboll and Kyle of Durness, Beinn Spionnaidh's grass covered slopes rise gently to meet with its summit crest stretching north-east to south-west and covered in quartzite boulderfield.

Beinn Spionnaidh's and nearby Cranstackie's crests link together at a grassy col at a height of 550m. Most hillwalkers will therefore combine them into one outing, but there's a choice of approach - from Loch Eriboll to the east or Carbreck to the west.
