An Caisteal

Highlight • Natural Monument

An Caisteal

Recommended by 35 hikers

An exciting and endlessly interesting mountain to walk, hiking up An Caisteal provides a very real chance to bag two, if not three Munros in one expedition. This hulking, ridged peak lies in the beautiful Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and you’ll find the summit at 3,264 feet (995 m) with jaw-dropping views of the behemoths surrounding it.

This Highlight is in a protected area

    Approaching An Caisteal from the north via Sron Gharbh and Twistin Hill. The ridge is beautiful, without giving the hiker any technical difficulty.

      An Caisteal is one of seven Munros in the Crianlarich range and a journey to its summit often involves bagging neighbouring Beinn a' Chròin too. The Munro is named for a conspicuous outcrop that is said to look like a castle. Hikers approaching from Crianlarich usually take the broad Twistin Hill ridge, which features a few rock steps but nothing too taxing.

        I don't know what possessed me to walk seven Munros that day but I did! Pushing 30km and with 2,500m of ascent, I started with An Caisteal (a Munro mountain standing at 995m) and finished with Ben More. As painful as it was, I have really fond memories of this area.
