For this second day in the Loch Lomond area of ​​Scotland, we decided to go up Beinn Dubh. This hike starts from the village of Luss on the edge of Loch Lomond. The trail is well signposted and easy to follow. The climb to the top of Beinn Dubh is quite difficult but once at the top we arrive on a vast circular plateau. The trail overlooks the valleys on both sides before descending to Luss.

Here are the key steps to do this hike:

  • From the parking, go towards the primary school then take the bridge across the A82. Just after the house take the path on the right towards Beinn Dubh. Continue straight on this path to the summit.
  • At Beinn Dubh, continue straight towards Chur nah Eanachan. Then continue on the path down to the road. (The circular trail follows the top of both peaks before descending).
  • Continue straight on the road for a long time before finding the bridge and the parking.

After this hike, we went to swim in Loch Lomond where all the locals had gathered on this sunny Sunday. The car park was totally full as well as the banks of Loch Lomond with families enjoying the good weather. We ended the day by eating at Castle & Creel in Helensburgh where we tasted Scottish oysters and mussels.
