About Beinn Ghlas

Beinn Ghlas is a mountain. Location: Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Elevation: 1,103 m.

From Wikipedia

Beinn Ghlas is a mountain in the Breadalbane region of the Scottish Highlands. It lies on the north shore of Loch Tay and is part of the Ben Lawers Range. It is a Munro with a height of 1,103 metres (3,619 ft). The Gaelic name is translated as 'grey-green mountain', which refers to the colour of the mica-schist that makes up the bulk of the mountain and that falls as a scree on its south-western side. The path up the mountain leads past outcrops of this rock that also reveal large garnets.
