Beinn a' Chaorainn is a Scottish mountain situated in the heart of the Cairngorms range. It is quite a remote hill, being located roughly 19 kilometres south east of Aviemore and 14 kilometres north west of Braemar. The mountain stands on the border of the Moray and Aberdeenshire council areas. The hill's name used to be spelt as Beinn a' Chaoruinn,〔"Hamish's Mountain Walk" Page 136 Gives spelling as Beinn a' Chaoruinn.〕 but the spelling of the word ''caorunn'' (in genitive case here) was altered to ''caorann'' by the Gaelic Orthographic Convention's attempts to standardise spelling. ==Overview== The mountain is a pointed hill, however it is not particularly conspicuous in views being overshadowed by the more imposing and impressive peaks of the Cairngorms which stand nearby. The hill is located at the head of Glen Derry and faces its higher and better-known neighbour Beinn Mheadhoin across the Lairig an Laoigh (The Pass of the Calves). Beinn a' Chaorainn reaches a height of 1083 metres (3553 feet) and qualifies as both a Munro and a Marilyn. The hill's name translates from the Gaelic as ''“Mountain of the Rowan tree”'' although today the hill seems bare of any trees.〔"The Magic of the Munros" Page 114 Gives details of translation.〕 The mountain should not be confused with another Munro also known as Beinn a' Chaorainn which is situated in Glen Spean above Loch Laggan.
