About Stob an Duibhe
Perched above the northern reaches of Loch Lomond, this Graham is Ben Lomond's quieter, moodier neighbor. It is the perfect escape for hikers who find the nearby tourist paths far too sociable and prefer their Scottish summits served with a side of brooding solitude and calf-deep heather.

- •It sits within the heart of the Great Trossachs Forest, a massive 200-year project aimed at restoring native woodland across the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
- •The summit provides a front-row seat to the Highland Boundary Fault, offering a clear visual transition between the rolling Lowlands and the jagged peaks of the Arrochar Alps.
- •Historically, this rugged area served as a natural stronghold for the MacGregor clan, providing plenty of craggy hiding spots for the legendary outlaw Rob Roy.
- •While Ben Lomond steals the glory, Stob an Duibhe offers a far superior view of the 'Cobbler' across the water without the need to queue for a summit selfie.
- •The approach from Inversnaid is less of a walk and more of a masterclass in bog-navigation; expect to finish the day with boots that weigh three times more than when you started.
