Beinn Dearg Mòr is a peak in the Dundonnell and Fisherfield Forest of Ross-shire. It rises to an elevation of 2,973 feet above sea level.
Beinn Dearg Mòr was marked on Ordnance Survey maps with an elevation of '910m'. The Munro Society used GPS devices for a height survey of the mountain in 2011, along with the adjacent Ruadh Stac Mòr and Beinn a' Chlaidheimh. Beinn Dearg Mòr was measured as a summit height of 906.28m +/-0.08m (2,973 feet 4.31 inches), and so retains its classification as a 'Corbett'.[1]
The name of the mountain is Gaelic, and means 'Big red mountain'.
