The Cobbler photo

Admiring the view from the highest point of The Cobbler

Reaching the highest point involves a scramble up a rock outcrop which is not within everybody’s comfort zone. Although not technically difficult, a degree of nerve is required due to the exposure after having climbed through a window in the rock. While a rope is not necessary, good body co-ordination using both hands and feet is. Despite the sensation given by this photo of being very high up, it is worth remembering that Ben Arthur (The Cobbler) is not one of Scotland's Munros, that is, it is less than 3,000 feet high.
