Moderate: Cruach an t-Sidhein, Glen Douglas

A moderate, quite straightforward walk to the top of Cruach an t-Sidhein, the most remote of the Luss grahams. Its quite a surreal start past MOD fencing into attractive Cona Ghlean and nice views of the other Luss hills and to the arrochar alps.

We can then convoy/car share 4km down Glen Douglas to the walk start, just before Tullich farm. Planning a coffee after walk in the Inn.

Dog friendly.
