Beinn Resipol
Beinn Resipol (“mountain of the homestead”) is the highest point in Sunart, a district west of Loch Linnhe, in the west highlands of Scotland. It is located approximately halfway between Strontian and Salen, with Loch Sunart to the south and Loch Shiel to the north.

Beinn Resipol is 2,772 feet high and is classified both as a Corbett and a Marilyn. It is quite an isolated mountain and the area around it is one of the least populated in Britain, with less than two inhabitants per square kilometre. The solitary position of the mountain and its close proximity to the coast, however, make it one of the finest viewpoints in Scotland.

To me the best ascent of Beinn Resipol starts from Resipole Farm, on the north shore of Loch Sunart. The route proceeds up the valley of the Allt Mhic Chiarain and then climbs the steep west ridge of the hill. The picture I have uploaded was taken on this route and shows the west face of Beinn Resipol from the upper valley of the Allt Mhic Chiarain.
