Baosbheinn is a Scottish mountain situated in the Torridon area of the Northwest Highlands. It stands in a remote area within the Flowerdale deer forest some 39 km NNE of Kyle of Lochalsh.
==Overview== Baosbheinn, which is made up of Torridon Sandstone reaches a height of making it the 56th highest Corbett and the 277th highest Marilyn. It is a long elongated mountain with a NW-SE orientation. It has an impressive summit ridge, which barely drops below the contour in its length. Its SW slopes drops away steeply and rockily towards Loch a’ Ghobhainn while its NE slopes are less precipitous, throwing out a series of spurs which produces three craggy corries. Strong hill walkers can climb Baosbheinn with the adjacent Corbett of Beinn an Eoin which stands across Loch na h-Oidhche and gives a demanding circular walk of which takes between six and nine hours.
