Beinn Chabhair (933m)
A superb hike, especially on a fine day, the peak of Beinn Chabhair is reached via a steep eroded path beside the dramatic waterfalls of the Ben Glas Burn and then a series of many ups and downs as you gradually ascend.

It feels like a classic Scottish hike thanks to the craggy look of the mountain and the splendid views of Ben Lomond and Loch Long, moorlands and numerous hills and mountains dotted as far as the eye can see.
The Gaelic translation of Chabhair is thought to be “hill of the hawks” or “hill of the antler”, perhaps referring to the number of deer on the hill.
