Background
Description
An Caisteal, which qualifies as a Munro, is located in a popular area for hill walking within a group of seven Munros and fourteen tops which stand on the eastern side of Glen Falloch in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The mountain reaches a height of 995 metres (3,264 feet) and is usually climbed together with the neighbouring Munro of Beinn a' Chroin, to which it is connected by a high col to the south east. The mountain's name translates from Gaelic as "the castle" and is believed to refer to the prominent castellated rocks at the summit which serve as an easy way of identifying it from a distance.
