Crianlarich Hills

Highlight • Summit

Nestled in Glen Strathfillan beneath a family of towering Munros, the village of Crianlarich has a lot to offer hikers. The Crianlarich Hills that rise to the south and east contain seven Munro summits, including Ben More, the highest peak in Britain south of Tayside.

The village and its surrounding peaks are wonderfully accessible. It has a station on the West Highland Railway and the village is also the meeting point of the A82 from Glasgow and the A85 from Perth. There are numerous accomodation options in the surrounding area.

Long path with some great views of the surrounding Hillside. So quiet just the sound of the river below for company

Cruach Ardrain

Highlight • Natural Monument

Cruach Ardrain is a 3,432-foot (1,046 m) Munro in the Scottish Highlands. After approaching this mountain from Beinn Tulaichean, I explored by descending off the east side to tackle Stob Binnein and Ben More next, but this seemed too steep and craggy, so I headed north before heading east as the gradient eased. The views to Stob Binnein and Ben More from this summit are wonderful.

Beinn Tulaichean Summit

Highlight • Natural Monument

Beinn Tulaichean is a 3,104-foot (946 m) Munro in the Scottish Highlands. It's often considered as one of a pair, alongside the higher Cruach Ardrain. They can be approached from the north or the south. Alternatively, if you're like me, you can tackle the seven Munros south of Crianlarich in a single outing. In which case, you'd take these on from southwest to northeast!

A very foggy day on 2 of the Crianlarich Munros with Liz. Luckily the nav was straight-forward and in spite of the clag and lack of views, the wind was low so we actually enjoyed the exercise and the atmospheric environment. Lovely camaraderie with other hikers too.
