Mountain Description for Beinn Tarsuinn

Beinn Tarsuinn is a munro in Scotand and is located in the area Loch Maree to Loch Broom as defined by SMC

(and lies in region known as Letterewe / Fisherfield )

Beinn Tarsuinn is part of a group of munros which are hard to reach near the eastern edge of the Letterewe Forest at the south-east end of Lochan Fada across from Slioch (south west). Beinn Tarsuinn lies on the south eastern end of a 9km ridge. The hill is largely sandstone based and its finest feature is the narrow north-west ridge .

There is a narrow ridge on the north-west that curves round Meall Garbh linking the munro Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair. From the summit there are easy slopes on the south eastern shoulder of the hill leading to a narrow bealach where access is the via a long track Incheril (one kilometre east of Kinlochewe.) which can be very boggy in places.

Good views are had of Slioch (south west) and An Teallach to the north.
