Towering over The Trossachs, in the true sense of the word, this peak offers stupendous views of Loch Katrine, Loch Achray, and Loch Venachar. To the north can be seen Ben More, The Crianlarich Hills, The Tamarachans and Ben Lawers to name just a few. This is a serious peak, not to be tackled lightly. The peak may be ascended from the south, 8 miles, and returning by the same route, or by starting from Loch Achray Hotel to the east and ascending via the Coire nan Uruisgean. The descent is then made south easterly into the Achray Forest.

The Mamores are one of the best ranges in my opinion they from one huge long ridge with corries and ridges in abundance which are sadly lacking in many other ranges. These hills form the gap between Glencoe and The Nevis range. The Mamores are accessible from either side, you can start at Kinlochleven on the Glencoe side where the climbing is more hefty or from the Glen Nevis side. Although dwarfed by the Nevis hills the Mamores actually are pretty large hills. Each of the walks in the Mamores is famous for something and each offers a classic walk wither its winter or summer.

Stuchd an Lochain is a Munro situated in the Southern Highlands of Scotland. It lies at the western end of Glen Lyon and forms the southern side of Loch an Daimh. The summit sits above a large corrie that contains a small lochan. The primary route to the summit leaves from the eastern end of Loch an Daimh and climbs the ridge to the top of Sron Chona Choirein. From here the ridge turns roughly north for a short distance before turning north-west to the summit. Fit walkers can continue west for a circular walk around the loch taking in a Corbett, Sron a'Choire Chnapanich, and another Munro, Meall Buidhe.

This Munro can be approached from a number of directions; southwards from Ardvorlich on the shores of Loch Earn; eastwards from Glen Ample over Beinn Each and Stuc á Chroin, more serious owing to the steep rocky descent required of the latter; and northwards from Callander either via Stuc á Chroin or along Ben Vorlich's southern ridge.

Beinn a' Bheithir (Gaelic for Mountain of the Thunderbolt) is a mountain lying to the south of Ballachulish, on the south side of Loch Leven in the Scottish Highlands. It boasts two Munro summits: the higher peak Sgorr Dhearg lies about 2 km east of Sgorr Dhonuill. The mountain forms a horseshoe shape, with ridges pointing north enclosing the corrie of Gleann a' Chaolais (Glenachulish). The lower slopes on this side are cloaked in conifer plantations. To the south the mountain forms a steep ridge forming the northern wall of Glen Duror, which is also forested.

Ben Cruachan is a 1126 m mountain that is the highest point in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It gives its name to a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station located in a cavern inside the mountain.

It is the high point of a ring of mountains, known as the Cruachan Horseshoe, that surrounds the power station reservoir. The horseshoe includes a further Munro (Stob Diamh), a Corbett (Beinn a'Bhuiridh), and several subsidiary summits.

The Aonach Eagach (Gaelic, 'notched ridge') is a rocky ridge lying to the north of Glen Coe in the Scottish Highlands, boasting two Munro summits. It is sometimes known by the somewhat tongue-in-cheek name "Aggy Ridge".In length the full ridge continues for 10 km from the Pap of Glencoe at the west to the eastern end at the Devil's Staircase. The central section, some 2 km in length, is very rocky and the route along it requires scrambling ability. The Aonach Eagach is usually regarded as the most difficult 'scrambling' ridge in mainland Scotland, though it vies with Liathach, and in winter An Teallach, for this title.

Meall a' Bhuiridh is a mountain on the edge of Rannoch Moor in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies near the top of Glen Coe and Glen Etive, overlooking the Kingshouse inn and the A82 road. The Glencoe Ski area is located on the northern slopes of the peak. Meall a' Bhuiridh is linked by a high bealach to the neighbouring peak of Creise, and the two hills are often climbed in conjunction, starting and finishing at the ski area carpark.

Located north of Loch Fyne in Argyll and Bute, the isolated peak of Beinn Bhuidhe rises to a height of 948m (3110 feet). Its summit is crowned by an Ordnance Survey pillar which is located roughly in the middle of the long triple topped summit ridge. The name Beinn Bhuidhe is derived from the Gaelic for "yellow hill".

Tinto Hill is the largest and most prominent landmark in the upper reaches of the Clyde Valley and stands in complete isolation. For this reason, in good weather it provides excellent views through 360°. The summit provides panoramic views on a clear day of both east and west coasts, south towards the Scotland-England border and north to the Trossachs.

The first running ENE to Meall nan Caora where it branches NNW to the crags of Sgairneach Mor and ESE to Troisgeach (733m). The second is a broad boggy ridge running WSW to Trosgiche (500m). Meall an Fhudair is accessible from the E via Troisgeach and Meall nan Caora or from the N via the hill track through Gleann nan Caorann.

The highest peak of the Ochils, Ben Cleuch may be approached from Tillicoultry, up the Mill Glen. The lower sections of the walk offer the sight of many delightful waterfalls, but then a long steep, but not difficult, ascent up grassy slopes reveals more and more of the Forth Valley to the south and south-west.

A circular route may be taken by descending into Alva and then back through woodlands to Tillicoultry. Though only of moderate difficulty this walk should only be tackled in fine weather.
