Hike a Mountain in the Highlands of Scotland, on a 1 Day, Group Tour from Glasgow

This Mountain Hiking Day tour is for those looking for more of a challenge! The mountain you’ll be hiking is in the breathtaking Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, Scotland’s first National Park. To quote the famous John Muir “The Mountains Are Calling, And I Must Go.”

Located just over an hour outside the city of Glasgow, past the town of Callander, Ben Ledi is perfectly situated between the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland.

Your day will begin from the pickup location in Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city. Departing north, we head for the beautiful town of Callander, a spot where Roman ramparts can have been found dating back to the Campaigns of Agricola in the first century.

Driving into the town, on a clear day, you can see our objective in the distance, rising like an exploding volcano out of the earth.

Once we’ve parked up, laced up our hiking boots and grabbed our hiking poles, we will start our ascent up the mountain. Standing at 879 metres, it falls into the “Corbett” height category.

From the top (on a clear day) we should be able to see further north into the National Park and beyond that over towards Loch Tay.

Once we have reached the summit and conquered the mountain, we will begin our descent the same way we came up. Upon our return to the van, I think it’s safe to say we deserve a proper lunch, so we’ll pop back into Callander and grab a bite to eat.

After gorging ourselves with all the delicious calories our body can take, we will begin our return journey to Glasgow.
