A beautiful walk with lovely views. The Whangie is well worth the trip. If you fancy a view over to Loch Lomond, head up to the nearby trig point. I wasn't disappointed!

Lovely hike, steady incline with good footing. Beautiful 270 degree views the whole way up and back down. We did and up and back but you can do a loop. Private land so pay the small parking fee. Disappointed to see some rubbish along the way. Come on people

Nice walk with great views of loch Lomond. Fairly steep walk initially then evens out. We had nice picnic at the top as the weather was nice which helps . We went mid week which was quiet think it would be busy at weekends. Carpark expensive somone is making easy money. Took us 2 1/2hrs so not a long walk but still nice. Just outside Glasgow so not a long drive.

A great little walk with stunning views over Loch Lomond and surrounding mountains. Very straightforward route although saw some people ambling off in a different direction. Bring decent footwear as the path is very muddy in places. Great car park but it does have a charge
