Ben Vane may be only just high enough to make Munro status, but it is a steep, rocky little mountain with real character, like a wee terrier that refuses to acknowledge its lack of stature amongst its higher neighbours. The ascent is short by hillwalking standards but there are several false tops and the climb is a sustained one.

Terrain

Track for the approach, then path up steep, rocky hillside.

Public Transport

Citylink buses from Glasgow pass Inveruglas.

Start

Inveruglas visitor centre. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
