Ben Hope is the most northerly Munro in Scotland, rising 967-metres south-east of Loch Hope in Sutherland. This is an area known as the Flow Country – a wide, open stretch of peatland – that has the prestigious title of being home to the largest expanse of blanket bog in Europe. It’s also home to the Forsinard Flows national nature reserve that covers more than 21,000 hectares of land and has a diverse range of birds, insects and reptiles living in it.
