Popular Scottish Mountain Walks – How to get there, where to park etc
This is a circular walk with a bit of everything – Starting off in a steep river gorge, then a bit of a scrabble and a steep ascent of The Law, the hill in front […]
If you fancy a straightforward, easy ascent of a Munro (if climbing any Munro can be described as easy) then Ben Chonzie is ideal. There is a track leading a large part of the way […]
Having climbed the munro, Ben Vorlich at Loch Earn earlier this year, I felt I should also climb “the other Ben Vorlich munro” at Loch Lomond. But, having read up on it before hand, it […]
A lot of people who have never climbed a Munro before can feel a bit intimidated, and if like me, you are taking to the hills a bit later in life, then you might not […]
The Cairnwell Munros are a group of three Munros near the Glenshee Ski Centre – Carn Aosda (917m), Carn a Gheoidh (975m) and The Cairnwell(933m). This walk starts at the Glenshee Ski Centre car park, […]
There are actually two Munros called Ben Vorlich. One is near Loch Lomond, and one is beside Loch Earn. This report is about the Loch Earn Ben Vorlich (985 m). I have often seen Ben […]
If you are looking to get a few Munros under your belt, then this is a great opportunity to climb two at the same time. Ben Lawers (3984 ft) is the tenth highest Munro, but […]
If you haven’t yet tackled a Munro (a mountain over 3000 ft high) then Ben Lomond is a popular peak to start with. I have heard it described as an easy Munro, but believe me, […]
Isn’t Scotland Magnificent? You’ve just driven over the spectacular road known as the Rest and Be Thankful, heading towards Loch Lomond, and almost at Arrochar you look up to see the unmistakable craggy shape of […]
Dumyat At only 418m high, Dumyat is more of a brisk walk than a climb. It lies at the western end of the Ochil Hills, near Sherriffmuir, looking down onto Stirling and the river Forth. […]
Conic Hill At only 361 m high, Conic Hill may be lacking in height, but it certainly makes up for it in terms of the magnificent views over Loch Lomond. If it’s a bit of […]
Allermuir, Caerketton and Swanston Village Easily accessible, even by the local Edinburgh bus service, this Pentland Hills climb gives great views over the city of Edinburgh, the Forth bridges, and fine views of the Pentlands […]
Ben Vrackie Its height of 2759 feet makes Ben Vrackie a Corbett. (Corbetts are hills over 2500 in height) It is easily accessible from Pitlochry with free parking available. The first part of the climb […]
Sron a’Chlachain Sron a’Chlachain is an ideal climb if you are in the area and looking for a quick climb with beautiful views. It is not very high at 400 metres, but it is very steep. […]
Beinn Dubh This climb provides great views of Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps although the Arrochar Alps were hidden by clouds the day I went. Beinn Dubh is 642m high, so not […]
