Beinn Bhreac and Beinn a' Chaorainn, with the extensive flat plateau of the Moine Bhealaidh between them, occupy a large area of high ground between Glen Derry and Beinn a' Bhuird. At the southern end of the Moine Bhealaidh, Beinn Bhreac stands out prominently above the Old Caledonian pinewood of Derry, and 4 kilometres to its north Beinn a' Chaorainn rises from the plateau as a prominent pointed hill whose western slopes drop steeply into the narrow defile of the Lairig an Laoigh.
