The SMC Arran, Arrochar and Southern Highlands guidebook covers the area from Stob Ghabhar in the Blackmount in the north, down to the crags of the Mull of Kintyre in the south. The range runs from  the rough granite of Arran, the wrinkled schist of the balance climbs on the Cobbler to the easy access and short approaches to the frozen turf and waterfalls of winter. Whether summer or winter, lines can be found to suit everyone, from easy mountaineering to some of the hardest in Britain.
