Schiehallion's upper reaches are strewn with quartzite boulders that make the pull up to the summit a little awkward at times. Nevertheless, it's always nice to find yourself on truly mountainous terrain and that's what you get here. There are plenty of cairns along the ridge but the true summit is obvious once you arrive at its airy perch.

Hiking

One of the easiest Munro walks, even in winter. Even for a Dutch 60-year-old without condition, provided you are not afraid to jump over some boulders
