The Cobbler

Hear pronunciation Press to hear pronunciation

The Cobbler is one of the best-known mountains in Scotland, its three summits forming an instantly recognisable outline. The true summit, the central peak, requires a tricky scrambling manouvre to conquer - perhaps the most technical mainland summit - and most of the thousands who venture up here decide to give it a miss.
