Glen Kinglas
The Arrochar Alps are a group of mountains located around the head of Loch Long, Loch Fyne, and Loch Goil, near the villages of Arrochar and Lochgoilhead, on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The mountains are especially popular with hillwalkers, due to their proximity and accessibility from Glasgow. They are largely within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and in part also extend into the Argyll Forest Park. Glens which go into the heart of the range include: Glen Croe, Hell's Glen and Glen Kinglass.

Firth Of Clyde
The Firth of Clyde is the mouth of the River Clyde. It is located on the west coast of Scotland and constitutes the deepest coastal waters in the British Isles (it is 164 metres deep at its deepest). The firth is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean by the Kintyre peninsula, which encloses the outer firth in Argyll and Ayrshire. The Kilbrannan Sound is a large arm of the Firth of Clyde, separating the Kintyre Peninsula from the Isle of Arran. Within the Firth of Clyde is another major island – the Isle of Bute. Given its strategic location at the entrance to the middle and upper Clyde, Bute played a vital naval military role during World War II. Geography At its entrance, the firth is about wide. At one area in its upper reaches, it is joined by Loch Long and the Gare Loch. This area includes the large anchorage off of Greenock that is known as the Tail of the Bank. (The “Bank” is a reference to the sandbank and shoal that separates the firth from the estuary of the Ri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Munro
A Munro () is defined as a mountain in Scotland with a height over , and which is on the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) official list of Munros; there is no explicit topographical prominence requirement. The best known Munro is Ben Nevis (Beinn Nibheis), the highest mountain in the British Isles at . Munros are named after Sir Hugh Munro, 4th Baronet (1856–1919), who produced the first list of such hills, known as ''Munro's Tables'', in 1891. Also included were what Munro considered lesser peaks, now known as Munro Tops, which are also over 3,000 feet but are lower than the nearby primary mountain. The publication of the original list is usually considered to be the epoch event of modern peak bagging. The list has been the subject of subsequent variation and as of 10 December 2020, the Scottish Mountaineering Club has listed 282 Munros and 226 Munro Tops. "Munro bagging" is the activity of climbing all the listed Munros. As of 31 December 2021, 7,098 people had reported ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beinn Luibhean
Beinn Luibhean is one of the Arrochar Alps in the Argyll Highlands of Scotland, located to the northern side of Glen Croe between Loch Long in Dunbartonshire to the East and Loch Fyne in the Remote Highlands of Argyll to the West. The landscape to the West of Loch Long changes as the shoreline provides the gateway to Argyll, the district in the Western Highlands of Scotland that form the first ingredients to a wilderness and has a real sense of remoteness and isolation from the Lowlands and Populated parts of the Central Belt.

The Cobbler
The Cobbler ( gd, Beinn Artair) is an mountain located near the head of Loch Long in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a Corbett, and is an important site for rock climbing in the Southern Highlands. Many maps include the name Ben Arthur (an anglicisation of the Gaelic), but the name ''The Cobbler'' is more widely used. In the 19th century it was referred to as ''The Cobbler and his Wife''.Colegate's Guide to Dunoon, Kirn, and Hunter's Quay'' (Second edition)- John Colegate (1868), page 53 Arrochar Alps The mountain is part of the Arrochar Alps. It is named for its large rocky summit features which are supposed to represent a cobbler bending over his last. The features are visible many miles away from the mountain. Despite the mountain falling short of Munro height, due to its summit features and ease of access, it is one of the most popular mountains in Scotland. Three summits The Cobbler has three summits: the middle one is the highest. The top is crowned by a rocky outcrop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Beinn An Lochain
Beinn an Lochain is a mountain in the Arrochar Alps, southern Scotland, on the western edge of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Although included in Sir Hugh Munro's original list of Scottish mountains over 3000 feet,Scottish Mountaineering Club, ed. William Douglas, 1895, ''Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal'', Edinburgh, Scotland, p. 239 subsequent surveys showed it to be significantly shorter than the 914.4 m cut-off limit required to count as a Munro. Nonetheless, it remains a popular mountain, and is often quoted as an example of an interesting mountain below 3000 feet to show that there is more to mountaineering in Scotland than just Munro-bagging. Beinn an Lochain is usually climbed from the car park at Butterbridge, on the A83 road, at the head of Glen Kinglas The Arrochar Alps are a group of mountains located around the head of Loch Long, Loch Fyne, and Loch Goil, near the villages of Arrochar and Lochgoilhead, on the Cowal Peninsula ...

Beinn Narnain
Beinn Narnain (sometimes anglicised as ''Ben Narnain'') is a mountain in the southern Highlands of Scotland, near Arrochar. It forms part of a group of hills known (unofficially) as the Arrochar Alps, and is a Munro. The name Beinn Narnain means "hill of notches", and describes the mountain's notched profile. Beinn Narnain is usually climbed from Succoth at the head of Loch Long. The most commonly used route starts by climbing directly up the hillside, following a line of concrete blocks that were originally supports for a cable railway used during the construction of watercourse diversions forming part of the Loch Sloy hydro-electric scheme (Until the construction of new path, this was also the route towards The Cobbler). At one point the path crosses a level track, and one must continue by climbing some exposed rock immediately opposite - this appears to be part of the stream bed and not the path. Where the concrete blocks cease, the path continues up Beinn Narnain's craggy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Graham (hill)
This is an overview of the Grahams and a list of them by height. Grahams are defined as Scottish hills between 600 and 762 metres in height, with a minimum prominence, or drop, of 150 metres. The final list of Grahams, with this definition, was published by Alan Dawson in 2022 in the booklet ''Ten Tables of Grahams: The Official List'' and in the book ''Tales from the Grahams: 231 medium-sized hills of Scotland''. Scottish hills between and were referred to as "Elsies" (short for Lesser Corbetts, being "LCs") in April 1992 by British researcher Alan Dawson in his book ''The Relative Hills of Britain''. In November 1992, Fiona Torbet (née Graham) published her own list which did not include the Southern Uplands and had several omissions and inaccuracies. Dawson and Torbet met to discuss the issue and agreed to use Dawson's list but to apply the name ''Grahams'', which they both preferred to ''Elsies''. By definition, all Grahams, given their prominence, are also Marilyns. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
