Taking its name from the lochan set like a dark gem in the spectacular steep-sided corrie, Lochnagar is a mountain defined by the steep and clefted cliffs that surround its watery namesake. Located within the Balmoral Estate, its top is pointed and proud, and one of the most celebrated Munro summits.
