Beinn Bhreac

You won't find crowds at Beinn Bhreac, and that's rather the point. This modest peak sits just a couple of miles from Milarrochy Bay, making it dead handy if you're camped there or anywhere nearby in Stirling. The walk up takes roughly two hours depending on your pace and how often you stop to catch your breath - it's not a monster, but it's steep enough to feel like proper work.

The views from the top are honest. On a clear day you can see across to Ben Lomond and beyond, which beats staring at another gift shop. The approach takes you through decent woodland before opening out, and the whole route feels less trampled than the bigger peaks around here. It's the sort of walk that rewards you without demanding your entire afternoon or a military-grade fitness regime.

Families with older kids manage it fine. Younger ones might struggle with the gradient and loose scree on the descent, so be realistic about their hiking legs. There's nothing there in terms of facilities - no cafe, no visitor centre, just the mountain itself. That's either brilliant or maddening depending on your outlook.

As an addition to a camping holiday in the area, it's well worth the detour from Glasgow. Pair it with a few days exploring the local lochs and you've got a solid few days mapped out. Go midweek if possible - weekends can get surprisingly busy, even on lesser-known peaks.
