There are a number of mountain groups in the
Southern Highlands, including the most southerly Munro, Ben Lomond. The Arrochar
Alps, the Crianlarich Group and Ben More. Due to the ease of access from the
major Scottish cities some of these mountains are very popular and have suffered
erosion from the number of people walking and climbing on them. Perhaps the
finest mountains in this area are the Arrochar Alps which are more rocky and
defined them the imMediate mountains surrounding them. To the west the traverse
of Ben Cruachan starting from the Cruachan dam is one of Scotland's classic
traverses.
Photographs from two visits.
We stayed in Glen Orchy over Christmas 2005, which saw fine weather
throughout the week, allowing us to do some fantastic walking.
The March 2004 Trip was mainly based around the Arrochar Alps
and we generally suffered poor weather throughout the week, culminating
in being caught in a winter storm on Ben More. |
