Popular Scottish Mountain Walks – How to get there, where to park etc
If you go hillwalking in the UK, sooner or later your mind is going to turn to climbing Ben Nevis. Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK, and as such, it is challenging! […]
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 […]

Ben Arthur, more commonly known as “The Cobbler” is one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland. At 884 m high, it is a Corbett, just short of being a Munro. It is a straightforward […]
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 […]
