Exploring Rois-bheinn
Where is Rois-bheinn?
Rois-bheinn is located in Moidart, a beautiful area in Scotland. It stands tall at 882 meters (about 2,894 feet) above sea level. This makes it one of the highest points around! The mountain's name comes from the Gaelic language.
Climbing Rois-bheinn
People who enjoy hiking often climb Rois-bheinn. There are a couple of popular ways to reach the top. One way is to start from the small village of Roshven. This village actually got its name from Rois-bheinn itself! Another path begins from a place called Inverailort to the north.
Why Rois-bheinn Stands Out
Rois-bheinn is known for being very "prominent." This means it rises quite high above the land around it. The Moidart area is separated from the lands to its north by a deep valley called Loch Eilt. This natural barrier makes Rois-bheinn stand out even more. It's considered one of the most prominent hills in the entire British Isles.
