Beinn Uamha
The name means 'peak' in Gaelic. At 596m on the western shores of Loch Lomond, this is the kind of hill that experienced walkers love — not famous, not crowded, but a proper summit with proper views.
Gaelic: “mountain, peak” · Pronunciation: bine

Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent via forest tracks leading to the open moor above the Perthshire glens to the 596m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 hours.
Terrain
Mixed farmland and moorland. The Perthshire hills are gentler than the main Highlands, with less exposure and better drainage.
In winter
Snow is intermittent in Highland Perthshire — the hills see winter conditions but are rarely arctic. An excellent area for building winter walking experience.
