Munros & Bens

It is the beautiful scenery of the Highland Boundary Fault which makes hill walking around Loch Lomond and the Trossachs an unforgettable experience. With views on forests, lochs, farmland, hills and rivers, hill walking in this area is something special. Munros are mountains in Scotland higher than 3000ft (914m). The smaller mountains between 2500ft and 3000ft are called Corbetts. 

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park offers a great range of Hills and Munros. The most Southerly one, Ben Lomond, is well-known among hill walkers and because of its location relatively easy to reach from Glasgow or Edinburgh. Even though there are higher Munros further North of Scotland, The Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park has a few challenging walks as well. For those who don’t like to climb a whole mountain, there are also moderate walks with fantastic views.

Below are 14 of the main Munros and Corbetts from the famous and popular Ben Lomond to Ben Challum in the North of the National Park area. Click on the buttons for some general information about each mountain including the Grid Reference of the summit and car parking possibilities.
