Ben Lomond and Loch Lomond

Ben Lomond and Loch Lomond.

Ben Lomond is the southernmost Munro in Scotland and a very popular hill, being so close to the Central belt. It was encouraging to see so many young people out climbing the hill yesterday. This picture was taken two years ago from a pleasure craft on the Loch. Unfortunately, yesterday, the summit was enveloped in mist, with gusting winds.

The walk should take around five hours at a leisurely pace on a nice day. Get there early to avoid the crowds!
