Having grown up in Scotland, I’ve still only just scratched the surface of adventures. There are 282 Munros to climb and countless smaller mountains and hills. Not to mention the beautiful scenery and wildlife that can be seen in Scotland.
Ben Oss (loch outlet hill) and Beinn Dubhchraig (black rock hill) were the last two of the Tyndrum Hills Munros that I had to do. Here’s what to expect…
Ben Lui (hill of the calf) and Beinn a’Chleibh (hill of the chest) are two of the four Tyndrum Hills Munros. It was a cracking hike and one of the fastest I’ve done so far despite the poor weather conditions near the summit!
Beinn Narnain (hill of the notches) and Beinn Ime (butter hill) are two Munros that are part of the Arrochar Alps on the Western side of Loch Lomond. These two Munros are located at Arrochar, right next to The Cobbler.
For anyone that loves watching wildlife, I would highly recommend a visit to the Argaty Red Kites. After becoming extinct in Scotland, they were reintroduced here in 1996 and have thrived ever since. Watching them fly is honestly mesmerising.
Beinn Bhuidhe (yellow hill) was my first Munro of 2021 and I couldn’t have chose a better day for it! What an amazing day out.
Stuc a’Chroin (peak of danger) is one of three Munros in the Crieff & Loch Earn range. The others being Ben Chonzie and Ben Vorlich.
Ben More (big hill) and Stob Binnein (hill of the anvil) are the two massive mountains you see on the left, just before Crianlarich. They are the 16th and 18th highest Munros, and respectable heights at that!
Meall Corranaich (notched hill/ hill of lamenting) and Meall a’Choire Leith (hill of the grey corrie) are another two Munros that can be found in the Lawers Group and the last two that I had to check off.
Meall Greig (hill of horse studs), Meall Garbh (rough hill) and An Stuc (the peak) are another three Munros that can be found in the Lawers Group, on the Northern side of Loch Tay.
After a few weeks without bagging Munros, I decided I better get the finger out. For my tenth Munro, I thought I’d do the tenth highest; Ben Lawers.
Another Munro to check off, the Loch Lomond Ben Vorlich. Mentally, it’s a great hike but physically, it’s an absolute beast!
Probably one of the most famous Munros, Schiehallion ranks 58th out of 282 for height. It was also used in a scientific experiment to ‘weigh the world’ back in the 1774. After years of hearing the name ‘Schiehallion’, I finally bagged it.
The Cobbler is one of my favourite mountains that I have done so far. It’s both aesthetically pleasing and an enjoyable climb.
Another scorching day in Scotland, another Munro bagged. On Thursday, I took on Meall Nan Tarmachan and the Tarmachan Ridge with Boab, Teej and Chrissy.
My second Munro this year, and my fourth mountain of the year – Ben Vorlich (Loch Earn).
