Description - Walking Loch Lomond and the Trossachs by Ronald Turnbull
The hills and glens of the Trossachs and Loch Lomond make
up Scotland's first national park. They are the first of
the Highlands, and easiest to get to, if approaching from
the south. They are also first in the affections of many
hill-goers. Slightly less savage than the mountains
further north, on a slightly smaller scale, they have a
rugged charm that's all their own. This book suggests the
most straighforward routes to each of the area's 21 Munro
summits of 3000ft (910m) and over, but also seeks out the
wilder and less walked-on ways around the back. It also
covers the many slightly smaller but equally worthwhile
hills in the area, from the Cobbler to the Luss Hills and
Ben Ledi. As commercial plantations are cleared to reveal
native oak and pine and open water, the national park is
steadily improving as a place for lower-level walks as
well. With their easy access, convenient shops and
accommodation, and public transport by road, rail and
water, these slightly less daunting mountains make an
excellent introduction to the Scottish Highlands. From
Lomond's bonnie banks to the Hill of the Fairies, from
Arrochar Alps to lowly Ben A'an, and whether you take the
high road or the low, here is some of Scotland's best,
and best-loved, hill country.
