Ben Rinnes (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Ruaidhneis) is a mountain in Banffshire, in northern Scotland.[1][2] The mountain is popular with hikers. The mountain is 20 km2 in total and is located 8 km southwest of Dufftown. The mountain has one main path and can be easily accessed from the nearby car park. The Friends of Ben Rinnes program has been working on the paths to make it more accessible to the public and to prevent further erosion of the fragile ecosystem on the steep slopes and has been rather successful.
