    Ben A'an is a hill in the Trossachs in Scotland. The pointed peak of its west top 454 (m) resembles a small mountain.
    The normal route is from the pay and display car park of "Ben An" by the shore of Loch Achray. From there the signed path heads straight uphill in a north-northeasterly direction before picking up the course of a burn, and heading north-northwest up to a low saddle (246 m). The path crosses the saddle heading northwest before picking up the course of another burn, the Allt na Cailliche, and following it steeply uphill below the crags of Ben A'an. Close to the source of the burn the path swings westwards and behind the west top of the hill onto a col, from which it is a short climb to the summit of the west top which is the destination for most hikers.

    Ah, I very nearly went up there when I was up in the Trossachs a couple of years ago but decided to go up Ben Venue instead. Gorgeous part of the world.

    Great video and what an intricate little hill. It would be a new one for me too, yet I've driven past the area enough times. Wish I had Billy's surefootedness coming downhill!

    Looking forward to seeing what else you did on this trip. We keep saying we need to try Scotland and this area is the easiest for us to get to so seems like the obvious place to try first.. But it does mean driving by the lake district and not stopping😱 I like the idea of some of the smaller hills there that give you good value for money.

      Thanks Claire my apologies for for the late reply (been very busy.. life in general 🙄) ...I'm sure you'll love this part of Scotland lol if ya can get past the Lakes first...I've another two Scotland vids on now round the same area hope you enjoy 😁

    Ey up Marra, Tracey and Billy. What a stunning little hill mate. Looks a smaller version of Pike O Stickle. I've never been to that area, but it looks beautiful. Another one on the list of places to go! Haha
    All the best Marra

    An excellent route but spoilt by using metric instead of imperial which I don't understand such as in Wales I would give the height of Snowdon as 3560'. The onn that was superb was the walk over Smardale Viaduct Westmorland which you did in imperial which was great. Not everyone can use metric. The footage of the walks are good.

      Thanks for watching Nick and the feedback...i prefer meters to feet but strangely I can't get my head round kilometres preferring miles but can work with both meters and feet so I'll consider giving my Summit heights in both and my distance as always in miles 😊👍🏻
