Seasons
Year-round mountain walking, but midges may hold you back in summer, and if snow’s not your thing then avoid winter.
Centres
Fort William, Glencoe, Killin, Pitlochrie, Blair Atholl, Oban and many more. Camping and through treks too.
Difficulty
Many Munros are straightforward walks, but some have exciting ridge walking and scrambling. Aonach Eagach is covered in this volume. Normal Scottish mountain challenges and precautions.
Must See
The mountains rising above the valley cloud with views clear across Scotland, the Arete clearing on the Ben as you cross it, the first refreshment at the end of the day.
