Hillwalking and Mountain Climbing
Taynuilt is a hillwalker’s paradise. Whether you want to ramble up and down smaller hills or bag a Munro or two there’s plenty of choice.
The nearest and one of Scotland’s most famous mountains is Ben Cruachan, the highest mountain in Argyll. This striking mountain is a great climb in itself but to get a better appreciation of this magnificent mountan and its stunning views of Loch Etive all the way to the Firth of Lorne you can try the ‘Cruachan Horseshoe’, a walk that encircles the Cruachan Dam and takes in two Munros (Ben Cruachan and Stob Daimh) as well as their subsidiary tops (Meall Cuanail, Stob Dearg (Taynuilt Peak), Drochaid Ghlas, Stob Garbh and Beinn a’Buiridh).
The ‘Dalmally Horseshoe’ (Ordnance Survey map 50, Glen Orchy) is a less demanding climb which consists of Stob Daimh and Beinn a’Bhuiridh as its main tops.
Within an hour’s drive are the Arrochar Alps and various peaks in and around Glen Orchy.
Ben Cruachan the ‘Hollow Mountain’ - Ben Cruachan is perhaps best known for its dam and power station. The mountain has been hollowed out to house a gigantic hydroelectric power station which provides electricity to the National Grid when demand is high. The station’s visitor centre on the shores of Loch Awe is very popular with both children and adults as it has an exhibition about the power station and renewable energy, cafe and gift shop. Guided tours take you from the visitor centre 1km deep inside the mountain where you can see the vast hollowed out cavern and hydroelectric turbines.
