Ben Donich

Ben Donich rises 846 meters above sea level within the Arrochar Alps, featuring four distinct ridges extending from its square pyramid-shaped peak.

The mountain has served as a geographic marker for local communities since ancient times, with its trig point becoming a reference for mapping Scotland.

The name translates from Scottish Gaelic 'Beinn Dómhnaich', reflecting the traditional language heritage of the Highland region.

Hikers access the summit primarily via the south-east ridge, which connects to The Brack through Bealach Dubh-lic at 384 meters elevation.

The mountain's lower slopes contain extensive forestry plantations, while its upper sections reveal grassy terrain with scattered rocky formations.
