 Beinn a’ Ghlò has nineteen corries and legend says that a rifle shot in any one cannot be heard in any of the others.Queen Victoria viewed the mountain in 1844 on a drive up Glen Tilt, saying, "“We came upon a lovely view — Beinn a’ Ghlò straight before us — and under these high hills the River Tilt gushing and winding over stones and slates … and the air so pure and fine but no description can do it justice”.There are two popular starting points for the traverse of the mountain.
