About this walk
The Stob from Balquhidder is a moderate 8.5 km out-and-back walk with 610 m of ascent, taking 3 to 4 hours. It starts at Balquhidder (grid reference NN 513 205). It climbs The Stob (754 m), a Graham.
At 754 m (2,472 ft), The Stob is one of the Grahams of Loch Lomond & the Trossachs, standing 6 km east of Stob Binnein. It falls just short of Corbett height, so it's often quieter than its neighbours for much the same view.
From Balquhidder, tracks and paths lead most of the way, and the last climb is over rougher hill ground.
