Ben More is a Munro of 966 m in Argyll and Bute. Its key col is at sea level, so all 966 m of its height counts as drop.

Nothing higher stands within 53.5 km; the nearest higher summit is Stob Dearg (1,103.1 m), to the east. In the database's Mull and Nearby Islands region it is the highest of nine register hills, above Dun da Ghaoithe and seven others. No register hill in Argyll and Bute has a greater drop, though Ben Cruachan is higher. Its drop is the 5th greatest among the Munros, behind Ben Nevis at the top. It overtops all four of its nearest neighbours; the tallest of them, Ben Buie, reaches 718.1 m. It stands 264 m above its nearest neighbour, Beinn Fhada (Argyll and Bute), 2.3 km to the north-east. All four of its nearest neighbours lie to the east, so it stands at the western edge of its group. On the Munros height ladder it sits between Sgurr nan Gillean (966.1 m) and A' Mhaighdean (965.8 m). The highest point is recorded as os rivet in centre of large stone shelter, not a cairn.
