Ladhar Bheinn
Inverness-shire

Ladhar Bheinn from the shores of Loch Hourn
Range: Knoydart
Summit: 3,346 feet NG824039
57°4’28"N, 5°35’30"W

Ladhar Bheinn (la:ven[1]) is a mountain in Inverness-shire, which reaches a height of 3,346 feet at its summit, and so it qualifies as a Munro. Its name means "Hill of the Hoof" (or "claw")

This is the highest mountain in the Knoydart district of the county and the most westerly Munro on mainland Great Britain.

The mountain may be climbed from Barrisdale to the north-east or Inverie to the south. From Barrisdale the mountain may be climbed as part of circuit of Coire Dhorrcaill; this route involves a certain amount of scrambling, particularly on the section immediately north of the subsidiary summit of Stob a Chearcaill.
