Beinn Tarsuinn is the most southerly Corbett on Arran, its crests twist and turn above east facing crags overlooking Coire a' Bhradain. The hill's west facing slopes are much gentler by comparison. When hiking along its crest, a curious granite rock formation is encountered - 'The Old Man of Tarsuinn' - which can be seen on the skyline from Brodick below.

Beinn Tarsuinn, along with Beinn Nuis and Beinn a' Chliabhain, form the Three Beinn's Horseshoe which in the main, makes for a short delightful afternoon's hike.

On a grander scale is the full ridge traverse from Brodick to Sannox or the Glen Rosa Horseshoe, both of which have some fine rock-scrambling options that are avoidable if preferred.
