Stob Binnein

Stob Binnein is a mountain in the southern Highlands of Scotland, standing close to Crianlarich. It shares a twin peak with Ben More, separated by the Bealach-eadar-dà-Bheinn, a pass between the two hills. The mountain reaches a height of 1,165 metres and is often climbed alongside Ben More. Walkers can descend from the pass directly to Benmore Burn. Another route starts near Inverlochlarig, about eight kilometres from Balquhidder, leading up the southern ridge. The mountain is recognised as a Munro, a category of Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet. It is a popular choice for hillwalkers seeking a challenging ascent. The southern ridge offers a scenic path, passing minor summits like Stob Invercarnaig and Stob Coire an Lochain. The surrounding landscape features glens and burns, typical of the Highland terrain. The views from the summit stretch across the southern Highlands. A visitor to Stob Binnein finds a rugged, remote landscape with sweeping vistas. The climb rewards with wide views over the surrounding peaks and valleys. The southern ridge provides a steady ascent, passing through quieter sections of the glen. The pass between Stob Binnein and Ben More offers a natural break on longer routes. The mountain’s twin-peak structure makes it a distinctive feature in the skyline. The area remains wild and unspoilt, ideal for those seeking solitude in the hills.
