Discovering the Highlands one hill at a time! We've climbed Ben A'an a few times, as it's about a 45-minute drive from Lochside House. It's only 461 m high, but the views from the top are epic! And you can just about see Lochside House with the naked eye - a little white dot near the end of the Loch.

This is a varied and interesting walk, weather permitting - for those who have stable knees!

Starting from the car park Starting from the car park by Loch Achray, the trail is a 2-3 hour journey of scenic bliss (with a fair sprinkling of sweat). Steady climb, some more demanding rocky bits, but totally worth it for the summit panorama! 🤩📸

No ice creams at the top, but overlooking Loch Katrine and Loch Achray, the summit serves up a visual feast. Perfect for a quick hike to get your heart rate up in the 100s, if you're into that!

Pro tip: Proper footwear is a must – unless you're into free mud spa treatments! 😂🧗‍♂ And tag us in your photos, because this spot is Instagram gold, especially at sunrise or sunset. 🌅
