- In Series 2 premiere ‘The Hollow Mountain’, we head to Loch Awe in Argyll to climb the spectacular Ben Cruachan and traverse the famous horseshoe ridge to its neighbouring Munro Stob Daimh. Along the way, we’ll see how Ben Cruachan has been written about throughout history, explore the hidden feat of engineering that lies under the mountain and find out how Robert the Bruce took revenge -and Argyll - at the fateful Battle of the Pass of Brander.

These videos are so well put together Sam. They should have wayyy more views. Keep up the good work mate 👍
Many thanks! 🙏 Feel free to share!
Brilliant. Have been subscribed to your channel for a while now and your films just keep getting better! I had a great day up at Dalmally on Sunday and captured the other two munros.
Thanks for sharing, Paul.
Thanks Paul, really appreciate the kind words. Great to hear you enjoyed the nearby hills. It’s a magical place.
Great video. Missing the outdoors, not all of us are lucky to be out there all the time. Very informative.
Thanks 🙏 We are very much missing it too!
Wot ! A sunny day in Scotland in Summer ! Unbelievabbubble!
Ha ha I know right! This was in early October funnily enough but yeah, days like this are akin to hens’s teeth! 😂
Brilliant - thanks for uploading.
What an excellent, informative video. Really looking forward to doing this next weekend.
Cheers, glad it helped you out. Have a great time, it’s a cruach-er! 🙂
Wow another great and interesting video. Thank you 🤩👏
Really great stuff! Thank you for your efforts, it makes these walks more enjoyable for novice solo hikers like me. I also took note of all safety pointers you gave. Thanks again 👏🏻
Great to hear!
Brilliant footage mate. Keep them coming.

Much appreciated 👍
Super video, great details of route and background information. Just started watching the videos tonight, great escapism from the lockdown blues! I was on Cruachan during Whitsun week 1987, the best weeks hillwalking I've had, superb weather on a great mountain. Looking forward to watching the rest and forthcoming episodes, cheers!
Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it. ✌️
Wow great video. This just popped up today on my feed. I stay in Oban and look at Cruachan every day, it's a peak that says" I'm home" thank you for your very detailed info, and history. I've not been to the top of this seemingly intimidating top with its boulder covered peak. I know people take their dogs up but l would be concerned for mine with her wee legs. What awesome views, definitely worth the effort. I shall be checking out more of you videos. Thanks again Alioban
Many thanks for watching!
yet again another excellent video they have now become my must watch like a kid waiting for santa to arrive stunning and informative you seem to nail it each time keep up the good work
Wow, very humbling to hear - I’ve felt similar myself about stuff I like and it blows my mind that something I’ve created has evoked it for you. I’m really glad you enjoy it so much. Thank you - your support has been second to none.
Really enjoyed the video, was up Cruachan last week and visibility was zero, so good to see what we missed...😅😅
Aw thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Good to see you back again with new series. I love the history lessons and you always do a Vlog like no one else on the Munros. Beware the path to Drochaid Ghlas , I went down it , came out of clouds realised my mistake and then compounded my mistake by trying to cut across the hillside to the tunnel. Ended up climbing a scree gully to the tunnel and having to beat a retreat in failing light straight down to the damn. Audible books distracting me once again.
Aw no that sounds brutal, glad you made it off safely. Thanks for the kind words 😎
Superb :) always look forward to your films.
Many thanks 👍
Brilliant as usual Sam, another fine informative video, keep them coming, Dave
Thank you!
Great work Sam. “Earth Headquarters”...nice.
Thank you. Haha - I originally had the Blade Runner theme music over that scene but had to remove it due to licensing issues. I’m glad the joke still works. 😀
Cruachan is the highest point in Argyll. Nice video. Just a couple of pronunciations for you.
The ‘ive’ in Etive is pronounced as in the word ‘give.
Breadalbane: with the emphasis on the middle syllable ‘al’ which is pronounced as in the word ‘all’.
Thanks for watching! Actually Bidean nam Bian is the highest point in Argyll. :) Yeah, I’ve since adopted the hard ‘a’ in Breadalbane and the Ey-tive pronunciation!
@@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios Bidean nam Bian used to be in the old county of Argyll but for the last 50 years it has been within the boundary of Lochaber district in the Highland Council area.
That is why Cruachan is the highest point in Argyll.
Sorry but mention protestant English, catholic bruce, at that time there was no catholic /protestant ,it wisny a thing yet😮
Fair point.
