Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BEN LOMOND , a
mountain
  in the north-west of
Stirlingshire
 ,
Scotland
 . It is situated near the eastern bank of Loch Lomond, about 9 m. from the head and about 15 from the foot. It is 3192 ft. high, and the prevailing rocks are granite, mica schist, diorite,
porphyry
  and quartzite, the last, where it crops out on the surface, gleaming in the distance like snow. Duchray Water, a head-stream of the Forth, rises in the north-
east
 
shoulder
 . The hill, which is covered with grass to the top, is a favourite climb, being ascended from Rowardennan (the easiest) or Inversnaid on the lake, or Aberfoyle to m. inland due
east
 . The view from the summit extends northward as far as the Grampians, with occasional glimpses of Ben Nevis; westward to Jura in the
Atlantic
 ;
south
 -westward to Arran in the Firth of
Clyde
 ; southward to Tinto Hill, the Lowthers and Cairnsmore; and eastward to Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat.
