There are over 20 mountains on the north side of
the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park over
3,000 ft, known as Munros. These are normally the
most hiked in Scotland as they are the furthest
south, close to the largest city in Scotland,
Glasgow.
This area is known as the South Highlands, or
Gateway to the Highlands.
These mountains should only be climbed with an
Ordinance Survey Map
and good knowledge of using a Compass. Try to memorize the
trail up, and take the direction of the trail with a
compass, so if clouds roll over, you can find your
way back down.
Snow or Ice
Conditions should only be attempted after ice
training, and with the correct equipment.
