Perthshire hills and mountains
There are lots of fantastic hills and mountains in Perthshire, from scenic Schiehallion to the big mountain massifs of Ben Lawers and Beinn a’Ghlo. These walks are all strenuous or very strenuous, usually involving 10 to 20km and between 750 and 1000m of ascent. Times will normally be between 6 and 9 hours, including stops. To provide you with some inspiration about possible walking adventures, here are some ideas:
Schiehallion (1083m) – the fairy hill of the Caledonians – is a famous Perthshire Munro. It was used in an early experiment to measure the mass of the Earth and which involved the early use of contour lines. Find out more.
Ben Lawers is the 10th highest Munro in Scotland. The mountain is internationally recognised for its arctic-alpine flora. It also played a big role in the early development of downhill skiing in Scotland! Find out more.
Ben Vrackie & Pass of Killiecrankie
This super walk takes in Ben Vrackie, a great viewpoint, and the scenic Pass of Killiecrankie and the Soldier’s Leap. You can walk back to Moulin (and have a drink at Moulin Inn) or to Pitlochry by Loch Faskally. Find out more.
Beinn a’Ghlo is a complex, fascinating mountain with three Munro’s. Doing all three summits in one day is a big challenge but you are rewarded with big views. Or you can climb Carn Liath and head back via a remote corrie. Find out more.
