Beinn an Dothaidh is a mountain in Argyllshire, which reaches a height of 3,294 feet at its summit, and so it qualifies as a Munro.
The name 'Beinn an Dothaidh' is Gaelic, and means "Hill of the scorching" (or singeing).
The mountain is one of the Bridge of Orchy Hills and is located beside the more popular Beinn Dòrain. The two hills are frequently climbed together from the bealach (pass) between them, which is easily accessed from the Bridge of Orchy railway station.
Alternatively, Beinn an Dòthaidh may be climbed via its north-west ridge, or combined with an ascent of Beinn Achaladair to the north-east.
In a good winter, Coire Daingean on Beinn an Dòthaidh becomes a winter climbing venue, offering routes from Grade III to Grade V.
