Beinn Teallach is a mostly rounded hill above Glen Spean, east of Roybridge, with a steep eastern face. It was long counted as a Corbett until a resurvey showed it just clears the Munro mark, by a matter of centimetres. The name is Gaelic for 'forge hill'. The true summit is the north-east top, a rock just south of a cairn; the bigger cairn on the south-west top is slightly lower.
