Stob nan Coinnich Bhacain

About Stob nan Coinnich Bhacain

Standing as a rugged sentinel over the northern reaches of Loch Lomond, this Graham is a masterclass in Highland solitude. While it lacks the fame of its taller neighbors, it compensates with a name that translates to 'Peak of the Mossy Ridges'—a title you will find entirely literal once your boots are submerged in its squelchy embrace.

Key Statistics

Did You Know?

• •The fell lies within the historical territory of Rob Roy MacGregor, and the nearby Garrison of Inversnaid was established specifically to suppress his clan's activities.
• •At 647 metres, it sits perfectly in the Graham category, offering a panoramic view of the Arrochar Alps that makes the peak feel far more significant than its modest elevation suggests.
• •The summit cairn marks the boundary between the council areas of Stirling and Argyll and Bute, allowing you to straddle two regions simultaneously if you don't mind the wind.
• •Its geological makeup is largely Dalradian schist, which creates the characteristically craggy and broken terrain that turns a simple walk into a series of minor tactical puzzles.
• •True to its name, the 'mossy ridges' are less of a geographical feature and more of a personal challenge to see how many times you can lose a trekking pole to a hungry peat hag.
