“Amongst native Strathspey people I have almost always heard simply Bynack without a definite article and without accompanying adjectives.”: Seumas Grannd, pers. comm.

Additional Information

Evidence for the beag and mòr only comes in around 1900. Perhaps Bynack Beag was unnamed and when it got its name Bynack Mor was coined.

Munro M054, 1090m
