Tighvein (Scottish Gaelic : Taobh Bheinn) is a hill above Lamlash on the Isle of Arran in western Scotland. [1] It is a Marilyn (a hill with topographic prominence of at least 150m) and the highest point on the south-eastern section of the island, south-east of the pass of Monamore Glen. Two miles from the nearest road, the top is a heathery, boggy moor, almost entirely ringed by thick forestry plantations. It is rarely climbed as there are no paths to the top.
