Dunno if it's cos it was my first, but I've used it to introduce other newbies too. There's a good and obvious path all the way, no dangerous bits and the views are great and gives good example of what hillwalking in Scotland has on offer. Then again, once you've been to other places the hill isn't such a big deal anymore... Tip; once you've continued to Ben Lawers, descend via the trail leading at the back and along the hills for some easier walking and change of view. If it's cloudy on the summits it may actually provide you with some view at all...

Beinn Ghlas is very easy to get to, and very obvious from the visitors center, which lops a good chunk off the mountain height. The path is easy to follow, and is an excellent ridge walk, on the way to Ben Lawers.
