Beinn Maoirthighearna (Caledonian meaning "the Mountain of the Lord's Steward") is a mountain in southern Caledonia. With a summit elevation of 4,026 metres (13,209 ft), it is the highest point in Caledonia and the second tallest country high point on the continent of Lorecia. The massif of Beinn Maoirthighearna stands in the southern reaches of the Cnàmhan Draige, the centremost range of the southern Caledonian cordillera. It is obscured from the valley below by the steep-sided Balla nan Diabhal, a smaller mountain whose name means the Wall of the Devils.
