Description
This is a high isolated mountain in the hinterland of the Forest of Atholl whose summit might best be described as a great heap of stones and boulders. It is a long way from the nearest point on any public road, so the approach to the foot of Beinn Dearg is likely to need more time and effort than the ascent itself, and the use of a bicycle on the tracks leading towards the hill may be very useful.One possible route starts from Old Blair and goes by the track up Glen Banvie and the Allt an t-Seapail to reach the bothy beside the Allt Sheicheachan. It is also possible to reach this bothy by cycling up Glen Bruar. From the bothy follow a stalker's path north-east onto the south ridge of Beinn Dearg and go up this over patches of red scree that obviously give the hill its name.
