About Tullich Hill
Positioned between Glen Douglas and Glen Loin, this rugged Graham offers a quieter alternative to the crowded Arrochar Alps. Its steep, grassy slopes lead to a broad summit providing an exceptional perspective of the Luss Hills and the jagged profile of The Cobbler across the glen.

Did You Know?
- •The name derives from the Scottish Gaelic 'Tulach', translating as 'knoll' or 'hillock'—a modest descriptor for a peak that rises quite abruptly from the floor of Glen Douglas.
- •Occupying the narrow neck of land between Loch Long and Loch Lomond, the summit offers a rare vantage point where both the salt water of the sea loch and the fresh water of Lomond are clearly visible.
- •It is frequently climbed in tandem with the neighbouring Graham, Ben Reoch, by following the high ridge above the Craggan Burn.
- •While the nearby 'Alps' are celebrated for their craggy peaks, Tullich Hill consists largely of steep, pathless grass that serves as a rigorous test for both your calf muscles and your boot membranes.
