National Park Peaks

Ben Lomond

In this guide to the Highest Peaks of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, we'll first define the different scales of hills and mountains between Munros, Corbetts, and Grahams and then tell you where they are.

Munros

Munros are mountains in Scotland over 914.4 meters (3,000 feet), from a list originally compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. There are 21 in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs; see the list later in this article.

Corbetts

Corbetts, the next step down from Munros are Scottish Mountains between 762-914.4m (2,500-3000 feet). Corbetts are named after a list compiled in the 1920s by John Rooke Corbett, a member of the Scottish Mountaineering Club. We’ve picked some of the highlights below.

Grahams

Mountains between 610 and 762 meters (2,000-2,499 feet)are Grahams, named after Fiona Tobet (nee Graham), who compiled the list. They may not be Munros, but many are still worth climbing.
