Beinn Mhanach (Scottish Gaelic for 'monks' mountain'), also anglicized Ben Vannoch, is a mountain in the Breadalbane region of the Scottish Highlands. It is east from Bridge of Orchy, overlooking Loch Lyon to the south and Gleann Cailliche to the north. It is a Munro with a height of 953 metres (3,127 ft). The mountain has two rounded summits; the western one is called Beinn a 'Chuirn and rises to 923 metres (3,028 ft). From the West Highland Line and the A82 road, the mountain can be seen clearly 8 km north-east up the Auch Gleann. On the southern side the slopes are grassy but the more remote northern side is craggier.
