Beinn Narnain (sometimes spelt Ben Narnain) is a mountain in the southern Highlands of Scotland, near Arrochar. It forms part of a group of hills known as the Arrochar Alps, and is a Munro. The name Beinn Narnain means "hill of notches", and describes the mountain's notched profile.
Beinn Narnain is usually climbed from Succoth at the head of Loch Long. The most commonly used route starts by climbing directly up the hillsode, following a line of concrete blocks that were once part of the Loch Sloy hydro-electric scheme. (Until the construction of new path, this was also the route towards The Cobbler). At the end of the old pipeline route the route continues up Beinn Narnain's craggy south ridge. No actual scrambling is required, but the route does bypass some crags by means of a steep gully at one point.
Beinn Narnain's northern ridge drops down to the Bealach a' Mhaim, a three-sided bealach with other ridges leading to The Cobbler and Beinn Ime. An ascent of Beinn may thus easily be extended to give a longer day on the Arrochar Alps.
