Perthshire hills and mountains
There are lots of fantastic hills and mountains in Perthshire, from the "fairy hill of the Caledonians" - 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 the walking adventures we could design for you, here are some ideas:
Schiehallion
This is a great walk up Schiehallion (1083m) - a famous Perthshire Munro. There are some interesting stories to tell about "the fairy hill of the Caledonians" including an early experiment to measure the mass of the Earth, the invention of contour lines and the work of the John Muir Trust.
Ben Lawers
Ben Lawers is the 10th highest Munro in Scotland and is internationally recognised for its arctic-alpine flora. There are some interesting stories to tell about its history since the last Ice Age, including its role in the early development of skiing in Scotland!
Ben Vrackie & Pass of Killiecrankie
This super walk takes in Ben Vrackie, a great viewpoint above Pitlochry, and the scenic Pass of Killiecrankie and its spectacular gorge. On the way, we'll tell you about the history of Moulin and the old hut circles on Moulin Moor. Towards the finish, we might be able to call into the old Moulin Inn for some refreshments.
Beinn a' Ghlo
Beinn a'Ghlo is a complex, fascinating mountain with three Munro's. Doing all three summits in one day is a significant challenge where you are rewarded with wild views and remoteness. Or we can climb Carn Liath and continue along the ridge before heading down into one of the many corries of this complex hill.
