Beinn a’ Ghlò (the Hill of the Veil or Mist) is more a range of hills than a single peak, and has three Munro summits giving a strenuous days walking. Although the summits are rounded, they have steep flanks and the sculpted form of this great massif, makes for a memorable experience.
This is one of four Geocaches on Beinn a’ Ghlò.

Càrn Liath Summit Trig Point and the pile of stones
Càrn Liath (the Grey Cairn) is the lowest of Beinn a’ Ghlò's three summits at 975 metres . It is also the most accessible summit and the most prominent when seen from the main A9 Perth to Inverness road. The path up to the summit has become so eroded that it can be seen from miles away.
Càrn Liath has a trig point which is an excellent viewpoint.
