Dun Falloch

A proper wee hill that rewards walkers more than it demands. Dun Falloch sits just above Arrochar in the southern Highlands, and from the summit you're looking out across Loch Lomond towards the Trossachs - proper views for minimal effort. The walk itself takes around two hours there and back, mostly straightforward paths that get steeper towards the top but nothing that'll have you questioning your life choices.

It's the sort of peak that suits families who fancy a hill day without the commitment of Ben Lomond sat across the loch. Younger walkers find it satisfying - high enough to feel like an achievement, short enough that energy levels don't completely collapse halfway up. The exposed summit's windy on most days, so pack a jacket even if it looks calm down in the glen.

The real draw is timing. Sunrise from up there is worth setting an alarm for, and late afternoon light turns everything golden if you're lucky with the weather. Bring a packed lunch and settle in - you'll probably have the top to yourself, which says something about how many people know about it.

If you're camping at Tyndrum Holiday Park or Beinglas Campsite, this fits neatly into a morning or afternoon walk. Neither camp is far, so you could do this as a warm-up before tackling something more serious in the area. Free to walk, no permits needed, just turn up and get on with it.
