Stob Garbh

Stob Garbh is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands, part of the Grampian range. It stands within Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park in the Breadalbane area. The peak reaches 957.7 metres and is classified as a Munro top. A small cairn marks the summit, offering a clear point to aim for. Alexandria in West Dunbartonshire lies closest to the mountain. The surrounding landscape is rugged and remote, typical of the Highlands. Views stretch across the national park and beyond. The height places it among the highest peaks in Britain and Scotland. It ranks 439th in the British Isles and 419th in Scotland. Walkers often include it in longer routes through the Trossachs. The climb rewards effort with wide panoramas of lochs and glens. Its relative isolation adds to the sense of achievement on reaching the top. The mountain’s name means ‘rough peak’ in Gaelic, describing its character. Visitors find a straightforward but steep ascent to the cairn. The final section involves a short scramble over rocks. From the summit, the Trossachs’ forests and lochs are clearly visible. Ben Lomond and other peaks form a dramatic backdrop. The route passes through heather moorland and rocky outcrops. On clear days, the view extends to Ben Nevis in the north. The mountain’s quiet trails contrast with busier routes elsewhere in the park.
