Stob Coire Creagach [Binnein an Fhidhleir]

Rising steeply above the Rest and Be Thankful, this rugged Corbett offers a punchier alternative to its more famous Arrochar neighbours. Often known by the name Binnein an Fhidhleir, its terrain is characteristically rocky and unrelenting from the Butter Bridge start, rewarding the effort with focused views over Glen Croe.

• •Binnein an Fhidhleir translates from Scottish Gaelic as the "Peak of the Fiddler," though the true summit, Stob Coire Creagach, carries the more literal name "Peak of the Rocky Corrie."
• •Modern GPS surveys in 2006 and 2021 settled a long-standing debate by confirming Stob Coire Creagach as the highest point, officially replacing the western top as the Marilyn summit.
• •The summit offers an excellent perspective of the distinctive triple peaks of The Cobbler and the steep, scree-covered slopes of Beinn an Lochain directly across the A83.
• •While the ascent from Glen Kinglas is gentler, most walkers prefer the direct southern route from Butter Bridge, which gains nearly 500 metres of height in just over a kilometre.
• •Taking the direct southern route ensures that while your heart rate stays high, your horizontal progress remains impressively, almost comically, minimal.
