thumbnail

This is an easy walk amongst gentle valleys just outside of Oban in Argyll & Bute. The outward route follows a minor road through the valley of Lusragan Burn. The return is on a good, clear path past the Black Lochs and offers good views of the nearby mountains, of which Ben Cruachan is prominent. Although undulating, there are no long or steep ascents, making it an ideal half day walk with children.
