If Arthur’s Seat isn’t a big enough challenge, try these 10 munros near Edinburgh.
The weather is finally starting to warm up, so now’s the perfect time to start your munro bagging. While Edinburgh does has some easier hill walks, like Arthur’s Seat and Calton Hill, there are many more mountains to tackle within a short distance of the Capital.
On a clear day, walkers can get a lovely view from the peaks of these four munros in the Drumochter Pass. The hills are around a 2 hour and 40 minute drive from Edinburgh. Photo: Azuma

This hill is a brilliant walk on a fine spring or summer's day, as walkers can see for miles from the top. Schiehallion is in Pitlochry, which is roughly a two hour drive away from Edinburgh. Photo: Lance Sloan
It's one of the shortest munros, but Ben Vane is still a challenging but enjoyable walk. It takes around 2 hours to get to the rocky mountain by car from Edinburgh. Photo: Iain Green
