Beautifully triangular, Ben More is the highest of the so-called Crianlarich Hills. It dominates the skyline of this part of Scotland, forming a distinctive V-shaped notch on the horizon with Stob Binnein. It is a sadistically steep, lung-heaving, leg-aching climb to the towering summit – but, if you haven’t collapsed, the views are worth it.

For me, Stob Binnein was the second to last stop in a mega day out hillwalking (and peak bagging) in the Scottish Highlands in April 2019. I bagged 7 Munros that day and by the time I got to Stob Binnein, I was exhausted! The 1,165m Munro giant is often climbed with Ben More (its neighbour) which is only marginally higher and generally gets more attention.

Ben More from the Farm is an incredibly steep path, with some boggy sections lower down. The views near the top are fantastic, and makes it worth the short climb. Stob Binnein is worth doing after, and the descent from there down the back of Ben More and round is a much better path to return to the road.
