Ben Challum (1,025m)

Approaching this mountain on the A82, you might not think much of the vast grassy slopes. Indeed when seen form the Glen Lochay side it looks more classically inspiring.

Kirkton Farm & Crianlarich Hills

However, most people do ascend after leaving a a layby on the main road near Kirkton Farm and following the famous West Highland Way for a short while. Just after passing Kirkton Farm you will see an old cemetery as well as the ruins of St. Fillans Chapel, along with interpretative panels. As you go higher up the mountain amazing vistas open up.

You will be treated to such gems as the distinctive peaks of Ben Lui, Ben More and Stob Binnein, as well as some fine views down to Strathfillan. At 1,025m it’s a lofty top and is reached along a short ridge that descends briefly before climbing to the main Munro top.
