About Stob nan Eighrach

Rising above Inversnaid's rugged shores, this Graham offers a blissful refuge from the Ben Lomond crowds. It is a craggy, heathery vantage point perfect for those who find well-maintained paths a bit too 'civilised' and prefer their Highland views served with a side of isolation.

Key Statistics

Find It

Did You Know?

• •The name translates from Gaelic as the 'Peak of the Ice-Holes,' a nomenclature that feels remarkably accurate if you find yourself exploring its northern crevices during a standard Scottish spring.
• •It occupies a strategic position overlooking Loch Arklet, which has served as a vital part of Glasgow's primary water supply system since the late Victorian era.
• •The hill is situated within the Great Trossachs Forest, one of the UK's most significant woodland restoration projects aimed at returning the landscape to its native state.
• •Geologically, the summit is composed of Dalradian Schist, resulting in the characteristic knobbly and broken terrain that makes direct navigation feel like a game of very slow parkour.
• •The descent toward Inversnaid is a masterclass in tactical bog-hopping; it's the kind of terrain where you’ll spend twenty minutes planning a dry route only to sink to your knees in the final three feet.
