Tips

Hiking

This hill isn’t in the Scottish Highlands, it isn’t part of the Cairngorms range. It doesn’t measure 1,081m (3457ft) You can’t see Ben Nevis, you might be able to see the southern part of the Cairngorms range on a good day.
It is however a lovely hill in the Ochil Hills, measures 679m and is a subsidiary hill of Ben Cleuch, the highest in the Ochil Hills.
