Beinn Bheigeir, also Beinn Bheigier or outdated Ben Vigory, is the highest mountain on the Scottish Hebridean island of Islay. The survey consists of three 491 m, 460 m and 456 m high peaks that line up along a ridge. The mountain is located near the east coast of the island about 4.5 km southwest of the Cape McArthur 's Head and twelve kilometers south of Port Askaig ferry. Within a radius of five kilometers are with Beinn na Caillich, Sgorr nam Faoileann, glass Bheinn, Beinn Bhan and Beinn Uraraidh five other mountains.

Around the year 1600 a decisive battle took place in the vicinity of the mountain, at the Hector Og Maclean, leader of the clan MacLean, the Clan MacDonald, who represented the Lord of the Isles, attack. The MacLeans were the winners, and then plundered the island.
