mountain lying to the south ofBallachulish , on the south side of Loch Leven in theScottish Highlands . It boasts twoMunro summits: the higher peak Sgorr Dhearg lies about 2 km east of Sgorr Dhonuill (Sgurr Dhòmhnaill).The mountain forms a
horseshoe shape, withridge s pointing north enclosing the corrie of Gleann a' Chaolais (Glenachulish). The lower slopes on this side are cloaked inconifer plantations. To the south the mountain forms a steep ridge forming the northern wall of Glen Duror, which is also forested.There are several routes up Beinn a' Bheithir.
