Ben More Assynt & Conival
The highest point in Assynt. Apart from the path from Inchnadamph, the route is exceedingly rough, with boulders and bog.

Canisp
Often overlooked by its neighbours, this is a fine summit.
 |
| Suilven seen from Canisp |
An iconic summit with two main summits, one of which involves a short Grade II scramble. The descent to the South is steep and loose.

A bare mountain range that sports several small summits and a bold rock nose.
An Teallach (Sgurr Fiona)
Sea view from Ben More Coigach
A magnificent mountain with several pinnacles requiring Grade 3 scrambling, but with a lower-level (though exposed) avoiding path.

A remote Corbett with a benign Southern side and a gloomy North face.

Seen from Loch Maree, Slioch does indeed bear some resemblance to 'the spear' by which it is named. The route climbs a long Grade 2 scramble to reach the summit via its West ridge.
 |
| West Ridge of Slioch |
A classic long ridge traverse including a short grade 2 scramble over the Black Carls. and a descent into the magnificent Coire Mhic Fhearchair with its triple buttresses.

| Triple Buttresses of Coire Mhic Fhearchair |
A well-defended ridge involving grade 2 scrambling over a set of pinnacles, but with an avoiding path.
An Ruadh Stac 
Liathach seen at sunset from Beinn Eighe
A fine rough hill offering a grade 1 scramble up delightful slabs.

Carnan Cruithneachd
A lesser-known hill but a good viewpoint and a pleasant approach and final ridge.
 |
| The approach up Glen Elchaig |
A justifiably popular hill with a fine arete in the Forcan Ridge (grade 2 scramble). Its possible to leave the sack at the bottom of the scramble and return via the path before continuing.
Sgurr nan Eugallt
The final peak seen from Sgurr na Forcan
A very good viewpoint accessed by a good stalkers track.
Sgurr na Ciche
A distinctive pointed peak, rising from the sea with no particular difficulties, but like the rest of Knoydart, is wonderfully rough.

Ben Nevis is not only one the highest mountain in Scotland, but it's one of the best with an immense North face. The tourist path offers an easy if dull ascent, but the North Face is far superior. Ledge Route offers the easiest way up the North face via a characterful scramble of grade 2 standard.

A slog up the stalkers path from Steall falls leads to a narrow and broken rocky ridge (grade 1 scramble) that forms part of the Ring of Steall.

One of the most Southerly Munros, Ben Vorlich is a popular hill, although the routes of ascent and descents largely avoid the hordes on the trade route.
Uamh Beag
Loch Earn beneath Ben Vorlich
The highest point of the moorland above Callander, distinguished by a sizeable wind farm.
Arthurs Seat
Looking back to Ben Vorlich en route to Uamh Beag
At less than 300m in height, Arthur's Seat could hardly be considered a mountain, yet it continues to dominate Scotland's capital City and is still classified as a dormant volcano.
Berwick Law
Beginning the climb up to Arthur's Seat
Berwick is an even smaller hill, but like Arthur's Seat, this volcanic cone can be seen from a long way away.
