Ben Oss, Mountain summit in Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Scotland.
Ben Oss rises to 1,029 meters, featuring steep northern slopes descending into Cononish Glen and gentler southern slopes draining towards Glen Falloch and Loch Lomond.
Edinburgh botanist James Robertson completed the first documented ascent of Ben Oss in August 1771 while collecting plant specimens for scientific research.
The mountain's Gaelic name, Beinn Os, reflects Scotland's linguistic heritage, translating to either mountain of the elk or loch outlet in the ancient language.
The primary climbing route begins at Dalrigh near Tyndrum, with most climbers combining the ascent with neighboring Beinn Dubhchraig via the Bealach Buidhe path.
The summit area contains a medium-sized cairn positioned among slabby rocks of mica schist, offering views across the entire southern Highland mountain range.
