Beinn a' Chlaidheimh (914 m) is a remote mountain in the Northwest Highlands, Scotland. It lies in the wild Dundonnell and Fisherfield Forest in Wester Ross.
A steep and distinctive shaped peak, it is often climbed as part of the 'Fisherfield Six', in conjunction with five nearby Munros.
Beinn a'Chlaidheimh was listed as a Munro itself until 2012, however it was found to come up just 44 cm short of the required 914.40 m height required for a Munro, and was subsequently downgraded to Corbett status.[2][3]
