Moved to Scotland from Ireland

[Markl121]

Hi Guys nice to meet you all.
I have moved over to Scotland for a while and have a lot of free time on my hands so I would like to start climbing some munros. My current experience level is literally climbing a few sperrins at home and tinto hill in Scotland. I just assumed I could fire up any of the mountains and be grand but after some research I think maybe avoid the munros until at least spring Currently living in Carfin outside Motherwell so if anyone knows some nearby climbs that I could do that would be class.
Thanks

Use this site to try some local walks to build up fitness and experience. Don’t underestimate the wonderful hills not far from you. Lowther Hills was a great day out recently. The Ochils are also excellent.

There's Conic Hill near Balmaha, at the south east end of Loch Lomond. That is a relatively short hike which is rewarded with spectacular views over Loch Lomond towards the highlands to the west and north. Or get up to Aviemore for some more Arctic/Nordic type terrain - if the weather bodes ill then stay low down and enjoy hikes around lochs through woodland with deer, pine martens, red squirrels, etc. If it is not bad then a trail up from the Glen More Lodge takes you past the Lochan Uaine to Ryvoan Pass, where the path splits , one going over moor, hill and dale to Abernethy, the other takes you up Strathnethy to Loch Avon (pronounced A'an) and some very bleak, high-altitude, cold and windy territory indeed. The Lairig Ghru is a high pass to be left for high summer if you are not familiar with winter conditions. Glen Coe has some impressive scenery but it tends to be a bit severe. The hike up to the Lost/Hidden/Secret Valley/Corrie/Glen is fairly short (but steep) and makes for some interesting views out over the gulf of the glen. Of course, there's more to the highlands than hills...
