The summit is adorned with a modest cairn, perfect for a photo op to show your friends you’ve been somewhere impressive (and not just the sofa).
Predominantly composed of metamorphic schists, with a sprinkling of granite. The bedrock might not win any beauty pageants, but it's been shaping up nicely over the millennia.
From the summit, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, including Ben Cruachan and the impressive Loch Awe, perfect for those 'viewing selfies'.
The name 'Druim na Sgriodain' translates to 'Ridge of the Scree', which makes sense when you see the rocky terrain that can make you wish you’d opted for something flatter!
This mountain stands tall in Scottish culture and geography, symbolising the breathtaking beauty and rugged nature of the Highlands.
A delightful route that takes you through scenic landscapes with views over Loch Awe and beyond.
Free parking is available at the start of the route near the A85 road. Spaces can fill up quickly on sunny weekends, so arrive early or be prepared to park a bit further away.
The nearest public transport is via bus services that operate from Oban; check local timetables for updates.
While there are no facilities on the mountain itself, Taynuilt has a café, shops, and public toilets for pre- or post-hike necessities.
