Binnein an Fhidhleir is a mountain of Argyllshire amongst the Arrochar Alps.
The mountain is to be found above Butterbridge on the north side the A83 road facing Beinn an Lochain to the south. It has several tops, including Creag Bhrosgan (2,333 feet); Stob Coire Creagach (which replaced Binnein an Fhidhleir as the listed 'Marilyn' in April 2006)[1] at 2,680 feet); one without any name at all at 2,454 feet; and Binnein an Fhidhleir itself, further to the west at 2,661 feet.
Although Stob Coire Creagach is the highest summit, the name 'Binnein an Fhidhleir' is generally used for the whole mountain.
The name of the mountain is Gaelic, and means 'The fiddler's peak' or 'Peak of the rocky corrie'.;[2]
Ascent
The shortest route of ascent is directly up the hillside above Butterbridge, where there is a carpark. A number of small crags must be avoided, and the route is steep and unrelenting. Alternatively, the hill may be ascended from further up Glen Kinglas by way of Binnein an Fhidhleir's northern ridge: although longer this route is considerably less steep.
