Old travel Blog photograph of the road through Glen Ogle to Stùc a' Chroin mountain in the Trossachs, Scotland. Stùc a' Chroin is a mountain located in the southern part of the Highlands. It lies to the south of Ben Vorlich, which is itself bounded to the north by Loch Earn, and to the west by Loch Lubnaig. The boundary between the council areas of Perth and Kinross and Stirling passes through the summit of the peak, and the town of Callander lies to the south. Stùc a' Chroin is most often climbed in conjunction with Ben Vorlich from Ardvorlich on Loch Earnside to the north. The normal routes of ascent is over the summit of Ben Vorlich and down its south west ridge to the Bealach an Dubh Choirein. From this bealach a rough path cuts very steeply up on the right side of the prominent buttress to the summit of Stùc a' Chroin. Returning from the bealach, Ben Vorlich can be skirted by a pathless traverse of grassy slopes to the pass on its east.
