RegionCairngorms
Beinn Mheadhoin, roughly 'middle mountain', sits in the heart of the Cairngorms, ringed by deep glens and lochs, with Loch Avon and Loch Etchachan below. Large granite tors are scattered across its broad, flat top, and the highest point is on top of one of the biggest, so you need a short scramble to reach it. The usual way in passes the Shelter Stone at the head of Loch Avon.
