Beinn Mheadhoin is aptly named, for it is right in the heart of the Cairngoms, almost totally surrounded by other mountains and rather inaccessible from starting points on the perimeter of the range. Like Ben Avon, it is recognisable by the tors on its skyline. On its north side it rises steeply above the dark waters of Loch Avon and on the south side the crags of Stob Coire Etchachan give the mountain a fine appearance in the view up Glen Derry.
