Beinn a' Bhùird is a Munro in the Cairngorm mountain range of Scotland. In Watson the author suggests the mountain should be named Beinn Bòrd – table hill, saying that local Scottish Gaelic speakers pronounced the mountain Paing Bòrd, with some of the older local folk still using Painna Bòrd. Beinn a’ Bhùird is situated 2 miles south of Forest of Glenavon.
