Beinn Eich

Rising steeply above Glen Luss, this grassy Graham offers a superb vantage point over Loch Lomond’s southern islands. While the ascent is a persistent pull, the reward is an airy ridge walk connecting to neighboring Doune Hill. It is a quintessential Luss Hill: quiet, steep, and exceptionally panoramic.

• •The name originates from the Scottish Gaelic 'Beinn Eich', meaning 'Hill of the Horses', likely a reference to historical grazing or the ponies used to navigate these steep slopes.
• •It is most frequently climbed as part of a horseshoe circuit from Glen Luss, linked to the higher Doune Hill via a broad, undulating ridge that provides consistent views of the Loch.
• •From the summit, the view east is dominated by the massive profile of Ben Lomond, while to the northwest, the jagged outlines of the Arrochar Alps, including The Cobbler, are clearly visible.
• •Despite the Gaelic name, you are significantly more likely to find your path blocked by a stubborn local sheep than any actual horses.
