    Formed from the runoff from the Tyndrum Munros, the River Cononish carves a gloriously scenic and tranquil glen. Undoubtedly the star of the show is Ben Lui, flaunting its corrie-bitten northeast face for all to see. When covered in snow, it takes on a positively alpine appearance. The hike up to Ben Lui is full of charming little cascades and huge views.

    There's not just scenic gold here, but actual gold too. The Cononish Glen is home to Scotland's first commercial gold mine.
