From the Wikipedia article
Beinn a' Bheithir (Scottish Gaelic for 'mountain of the beast' / 'mountain of the thunderbolt') is a mountain south of Ballachulish and Loch Leven in the Scottish Highlands. It has two Munro summits: Sgorr Dhearg (Sgòrr Dhearg pronounced [s̪kuːrˠ ˈʝɛɾɛk]) at 1,024 m (3,360 ft) and Sgorr Dhonuill (Sgòrr Dhòmhnaill) at 1,001 m (3,284 ft). The mountain forms a horseshoe shape, with ridges pointing north enclosing the corrie of Gleann a' Chaolais (Glenachulish). The lower slopes on this side are cloaked in conifer plantations. To the south the mountain forms a steep ridge forming the northern wall of Glen Duror, which is also forested.
