What is recorded here
Beinn Dearg is shown as a mountain / peak on the public map of Argyll and Bute. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Beinn Dearg reaches an elevation of approximately 760 metres and is part of the Glen Coe mountain range in the Scottish Highlands. Its name, meaning "Red Mountain" in Gaelic, likely refers to the reddish hue of its rocky slopes, and it is associated with the dramatic landscape shaped by ancient volcanic activity and glacial erosion. The mountain matters as a notable feature within the scenic and historically significant area of Glen Coe, known for both its natural beauty and tragic past, including the 1692 massacre.
