Beinn a' Chlachair, the 'stonemason's mountain', is the high point of the Ardverikie Estate south of Loch Laggan. From the A86 in Glen Spean it's the long whaleback that dominates the view across the loch. Its top is a broad plateau with a cairn, and on the north side Coire Mòr Chlachair carries a big cornice in winter.
