Ben Lomond
1 hour from Glasgow by car. Ben Lomond is the city`s nearest Munro. To walk to the summit you have to start from Rowardennan.
There is a well-trodden track all the way to the summit, makes it one of the most popular of all the Munro`s in Scotland. On a clear day, it is perfectly visible from the higher ground areas of Glasgow and out to the islands.It is a grind to the top but well worth the effort.

Ben Lomond's has several namesakes in Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Trinidad and the United States of America.
The usual route up Ben Lomond is known as the 'tourist path', a wide, eroded and easy path which is roughly paved in steeper sections. This track was created owing to the mountain's status as one of the most popular in Scotland and climbs the gentle Sròn Aonaich ridge, before ascending a steeper section to the rocky summit ridge.
