Stùc a' Chroin summit

Highlight • Summit

Stùc a' Chroin summit

Recommended by 48 hikers out of 49

Stùc a’ Chroin rises just to the north of the Highland fault line, the divide between the lowland Central Belt and the majesty of the Scottish Highlands. This makes it one of Scotland’s most southerly Munros and, thanks to this, it is a very popular mountain. It sees far more boots than it would if it was sequestered further north.

A popular but challenging Munro on the southern edge of the Highlands

This Highlight is in a protected area

Please check local regulations for: Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park

    Tips

    March 6, 2019

    The two Munros of Stùc a' Chroin and Ben Vorlich, on the southern fringe of the Highlands, appear as an identical pair in many distant views. Closer up, they are more different. Ben Vorlich is a very popular hillwalk from Loch Earn and a fine viewpoint, whilst the continuation to Stuc a'Chroin is a more serious walk with steep, rocky ground.
