Overview

The summits are listed as above as the plan (which might be changed) would be to do an anti-clockwise circuit walking the summits with the western seaboard in front of us. Either way we ascend to the Cruachan Reservoir (a hydro power “battery”) and then do loop or horseshoe from there. We will be back in Linlithgow by 7 pm.
