Beinn Dorain (Scottish Gaelic: 'hill of the streamlet'), is a mountain located in the Bridge of Orchy hills of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland, as it curves gracefully up from the West Highland Way. It is the subject of Duncan Ban MacIntyre's best known poem, Ben Doran; MacIntyre had worked as a gamekeeper in these parts.

The mountain is easily accessible from the Bridge of Orchy railway station, from where a path leads up to the bealach separating Beinn Dorain from Beinn an Dothaidh‎: the two hills are frequently climbed together from this point.

It would have helped if you had spelled it correctly (Dobhrain)!!!! The mountain is now called Beinn Dorian (sometimes Bhenn Dorain/ Doran) and is in the area of Bridge of Orchy.
