Ben Lomond (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Laomainn, 'Beacon Peak'), 974 m (3196 feet), is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands. It is east of Loch Lomond, and is the most southerly of the Munros. Its accessibility from Glasgow and elsewhere in central Scotland, together with the relative ease of ascent from Rowardennan, from where a well-trodden track runs all the way to the summit, makes it one of the most popular of all the Munros. On a clear day, it is perfectly visible from the higher ground areas of Glasgow. Indeed its wide visibility (notably eastwards across the low-lying central valley of Scotland) may have led it being named 'Beacon Peak'. Cf. the equally far-seen Lomond Hills in Fife.

  • Ben Lomond (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Laomainn, 'Beacon Peak'), 974 m (3196 feet), is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands. It is east of Loch Lomond, and is the most southerly of the Munros. Its accessibility from Glasgow and elsewhere in central Scotland, together with the relative ease of ascent from Rowardennan, from where a well-trodden track runs all the way to the summit, makes it one of the most popular of all the Munros. On a clear day, it is perfectly visible from the higher ground areas of Glasgow. Indeed its wide visibility (notably eastwards across the low-lying central valley of Scotland) may have led it being named 'Beacon Peak'. Cf. the equally far-seen Lomond Hills in Fife. The normal ascent path climbs the gentle Sron Aonaich ridge, before ascending in steep zig-zags to the rocky summit ridge. The West Highland Way runs along the western base of the mountain, by the loch. The area is owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The summit can also be seen from Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Britain, over 40 miles away.
