Ben Lomond reaches 974m (3,196ft) above the east shore of Loch Lomond, in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. It is the most southerly Munro and the county top of Stirlingshire. From the south it shows a long ridge, while the north face drops in crags into a corrie. Cruinn a' Bheinn lies 2.3km to the north. It is a Munro and a Marilyn.
