I've heard Ben Lui described as the Queen of Scottish mountains; it's certainly one of the grandest peaks in the Southern Highlands. Its best feature is undoubtedly its corrie-bitten northeast face, where two ridges rise above the spectacular Coire Gaothach.

The approach from the east is the most scenic but it makes for a long day. Of the two ridges above Corie Gaothach, the northeast ridge is the less technical, whereas the east ridge entails a little scrambling.

A quicker approach to Ben Lui is by sneaking up its back from Glen Lochy (the most Scottish sounding glen of all) to the north. It can easily be linked with neighbouring Beinn a'Chleibh from this direction.

At 1130m Ben Lui is one of the highest Munro in the south western highlands, and probably one with the best views.
It’s corries are spectacular and it’s ridges offer some scrambling. Usually approached from Glen Lochy car park.
