Short walks with a BIG view
Wherever you go in Scotland you will undoubtedly find that perfect spot to enjoy some of the amazing scenery that Scotland is famous for.
Here by the banks of Loch Lomond there is a small hill known locally as '
The Dumpling' (because of its pudding-like shape), and has one of the most amazing views that Loch Lomond has to offer. Standing at 465 ft (142 m) above sea level it only takes around 25 minutes to reach the top of the Duncryne Hill, although it is quite a steep path.
I took these pictures yesterday evening and the view from the top was stunning!



What are your favorite short walks with a BIG view?

The sun was shining and despite the hazy views across the Forth to Fife, you couldn't miss the iconic Bass Rock. You can just about make out the white specs of literally thousands of seabirds who rest there (thanks to the camera zoom).

Agree with @TheChaoticScot, Ben A'an has the most spectacular views. It is steep in parts but only small sections, the majority of the walk is a lot easier than it looks. The pay off at the top is well worth it
A walk I've taken my daughters on since they were young is 'The Whangie' on Auchineden Hill. Situated in the Kilpatrick hills, between Milngavie and Drymen, it's just over a half hour drive from the centre of Glasgow.
The walk itself is short (about 1.5hrs in total) and up a gentle enough slope. The views of Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps to the north are amazing. The Campsie Fells to the East and the whole of Glasgow stretching out to the South East.
The Whangie itself (apart from having a great name

My favourite spot to enjoy an incredible view, is the 30 minute hike up to the 'Gods Finger' ridge on the Isle of Eigg.
It's here where you can enjoy these stunning views over to the Isle of Rhum. This was taken last January when I got a beautiful clear and crisp day, this has to be my favourite Island and view hands down!

I walked for about 45 minutes from the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Drumnadrochit and got this amazing view of Drumnadrochit, Lewiston and Loch Ness itself! Luckily there was blue skies and sun but I didn't get to see Nessie this time around!
