The Beinn an Dòthaidh is a 1004 meter high mountain in Scotland . Its Gaelic name roughly means Scorching Mountain . The mountain is part of a group of four east of Bridge of Orchy lying Munros between Loch Lyon and Rannoch Moor form a small mountain group.
Like its southern neighbor, Beinn Dorain , the Beinn on Dòthaid rises steeply over the Bridge of Orchy and the West Highland Line , which passes at the foot of the mountain . Together with its eastern neighbor, the Beinn Achaladair , it is a landmark that can be recognized from afar , especially from the north, from Rannoch Moor and Loch Tulla and the A82 , the main road between Glasgow and Fort William , which runs over Rannoch Moor . The small summit plateau has three summit heads on, the middle summit represents the highest point and is marked by a cairn . To the west it drops like the Beinn Dorain with steep, largely grassy slopes, to the north it has several steep and rocky cirques. The transition to the southern neighbor is a high Bealach , over which the most frequented ascent route runs. In the east, the Corrie Achaladair opens to the north, which at the same time separates the Beinn an Dòthaid from the eastern neighbor Beinn Achaladair. Due to its location on the northern edge of the Bridge of Orchy Hills, the mountain offers much better views than the better known Beinn Dorain, especially to the north and west over Rannoch Moor and the mountains to the west of Loch Tulla.
The Beinn an Dòthaidh can be climbed on several routes. The most popular ascent leads from Bridge of Orchy steeply into the saddle between the Beinn an Dòthaid and the Beinn Dorain, so Munro excavators like to climb both peaks together. From the north, an approach leads from the Achaladair Farm, a little off the A82 north of Bridge of Orchy to the south through the Corrie Achaladair to the saddle between Beinn Achaladair and Beinn an Dòthaid, from there steeply west to the summit.
