Official information

Beinn Chaorach is a hill located in Scotland, part of the Luss Hills. It offers scenic views and is popular for hiking, with various routes leading to its summit. Visitors can enjoy the natural landscape and the experience of climbing one of the region's notable peaks.

From the Wikipedia article

Beinn Chaorach (713 m) is a hill in the southern foothills of the Grampian Mountains of Scotland. It lies in the Luss Hills of Argyll and Bute, between Loch Lomond and Loch Long. The most southerly of the Luss Hills, this grassy peak is often climbed in conjunction with its neighbour Beinn a' Mhanaich, although Ministry of Defence land lies to the west of the summit, so this side should be avoided.
