Cicerone Book of the Month

WALKING LOCH LOMOND AND THE TROSSACHS
By Ronald Turnbull

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, Scotland’s first National Park, is beautiful, accessible, wild and yet familiar, – all the ingredients needed for some fantastic mountain days.

Slightly less savage than its northern counterparts, the landscape of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park has a rugged charm. The ridges are wrinkly schist and grassy picnic places, the lower slopes are oakwoods and ferries cruise the lochs in between.

The park is the fourth largest in the British Isles, and includes 21 Munros (including Ben Lomond, Ben Lui, Beinn Challuim, Ben More and two peaks called Ben Vorlich), 20 Corbetts, two forest parks and 57 designated special nature conservation sites.

In this book, Ronald Turnbull suggests the most straighforward routes to each of the area’s 21 Munro summits but seeks out also the wilder ways around the back and the slightly smaller hills that this area is rich in. With their easy access, convenient shops and accommodation and good transport links, these mountains make an excellent introduction to the Scottish Highlands.

*Over 70 routes, all illustrated with OS mapping
*Many routes on the Cobbler, Arrochar Alps, and Ben Lui
*Routes to all 21 Munros and 30 lesser hills
*Selected scrambles including all three tops of the Cobbler
*Notes on access, public transport and accommodation
