Overview

Join Glasgow Young Walkers for a walk up Ben Vorlich and Stùc a' Chròin, As per Walkhighlands 'These two Munros on the southern fringe of the Highlands appear as an identical pair in many distant views. Closer up, they are more different. Ben Vorlich is a very popular hillwalk from Loch Earn and a fine viewpoint, whilst the continuation to Stùc a' Chròin is a more serious walk with steep, rocky ground.’
