The Beinn Ìme is a 1011 meter high mountain in Scotland . Its Gaelic name roughly means Butter Hill . The mountain is the highest point in the Arrochar Alps . This group of mountains lies between the north end of Loch Long and the west bank of Loch Lomond in the southern Highlands in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park . The leg name is classified as Munro .
Like the rest of the mountains in the Arrochar Alps, the most famous peak of which is Ben Arthur , also known as The Cobbler , Beinn Ìme is a distinctly rocky mountain with a steep, pyramidal peak at the eastern end of Glen Kinglas . As the highest mountain in the group, after Ben Arthur it is the most popular mountain in the Arrochar Alps with mountaineers. The easiest approach is over the Bealach a 'Mhaim , a mountain saddle southeast of the summit, which connects to Ben Arthur and to the east of Beinn Narnain . In contrast to the other, steep and rocky sides of the Beinn Ìme, the southeast side is easier to walk on. Access to Bealach a 'Mhaim is from Succoth , a small town at the north end of Loch Long. Another climb leads from the west of Glen Kinglas north of the Rest and Be Thankful lookout on the A83 to Beinn Ìme.
