Southern Highlands hillwalking routes
The finest hill-walking and scrambling routes on the hills and mountains in Scotland's Southern Highlands and the Isle of Jura.
Above Loch Rannoch and Loch Tummel
Schiehallion is a prominent mountain from all directions and is very popular. Nearby are several Corbetts, including Meall Tairneachan and Farragon Hill.
Glen Lyon
North of Invervar in Glen Lyon, a fine circuit takes in four Munros including Carn Mairg and Carn Gorm. The route can be shortened in poor weather or extended in better conditions to include the nearby Corbett of Beinn Dearg.

Above Loch an Daimh
Two contrasting Munros and several Corbetts overlook Loch an Daimh. Fine views are to be had, with Meall Buidhe providing an excellent vantage point over Rannoch.

Lawers and Tarmachan
Popular hills with well managed paths to curb erosion on Ben Lawers, Beinn Ghlas and Meall nan Tarmachan. All 7 Munros in the Lawers range, along with Meall nan Tarmachan, can be combined into a single outing or split into smaller circuits.
