Dun Leacainn

The walk up Dun Leacainn isn't dramatic or particularly long, but it's exactly the kind of hill that rewards you for showing up. Near Cairndow, this peak sits in proper Glen Fyne country, the kind of landscape that gets under your skin without demanding you're a seasoned mountaineer.

From the summit - and yes, there is a proper top - you get views down the glen that make the 45 minutes or so of climbing feel entirely justified. The path is straightforward enough that families with half-decent legs can manage it, though younger kids might grind to a halt before the end. Walkers who like a quick win without the slog of Ben Lui or the other heavyweight neighbours will find this one satisfying.

There's no café, no facilities, no shop. You bring water and a sensible pair of boots. Free access, obviously - it's a hill. The best approach is from Cairndow itself; local knowledge helps but a good map sorts you out fine.

If you're based at one of the caravan parks nearby - Stucreoch, Argyll, or Fyne Glamping are all within a few miles - this makes a cracking morning outing before you settle in for the afternoon. It's not the kind of peak that'll stay with you for years, but it's honest work and the views across Glen Fyne are genuinely lovely. Go on a clear day or don't bother going at all.
