    Hiking

    Most travel long distances to reach the foot of the most northerly Munro, buoyed by the promise of magical coastal views of the Orkney Islands. Climb the broad south ridge, safely to the side of the mountain’s precipitous western crags, for a feeling of isolation rarely found on other hills – you won’t be disappointed.

    Northernmost Munro - View to the sea

    Running

    Ben Hope stands at 927 m. It's the most northerly of the Munros and a bit of a northern outlier of the other highest mountains in Scotland.

    The normal route follows the mountain path from the road in the south. You can loop around the northern ridge, but the ground is more serious.
