Beinn Chùirn
Beinn Chùirn is a Scottish hill situated five kilometres west-southwest of Tyndrum, it stands on the border of Stirlingshire and Perthshire at the northern extremity of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
== Overview ==
Beinn Chùirn reaches a height of 880 metres (2887 feet) and qualifies as a Corbett and a Marilyn. It stands in the Cononish valley in the company of three other mountains (Ben Lui, Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhchraig which are all Munros and tend to overshadow the smaller hill. When seen from the east Beinn Chùirn looks like a smaller version of the neighbouring Ben Lui, both having impressive east facing corries, it is sometimes mistaken for Lui by motorists on the A82 road in Strath Fillan. The hills name translates from the Gaelic language as “Cairn Hill”,〔All above publications give this translation.〕 This is thought to have originated because the hill was an important point on the ancient boundary between the kingdoms of the Picts and Dál Riata.〔''"The Call Of The Corbett"'', Irvine Butterfield, David & Charles Publishing, ISBN 0 7153 2754 2, pages 158, Gives details of name meaning.〕In recent years the hill has received some publicity after the discovery of a vein of gold on its slopes.
