Ben Vrackie – the Corbett above Pitlochry
Ben Vrackie is the mountain that sits above Pitlochry. Not quite a Munro at 841m, but it’s a sizeable Corbett. The total climb from the car park is about 700m and the return trip can be made in about 4 hours. The walk in feels lengthy and the top section is quite steep but the path is excellent. Views from the top are incredible on a clear day – the mountains of Glen Coe to the West, the Cairngorms to the North and the Beinn a Glho range sitting above Blair Atholl. Well worth it.

If Ben Vrackie looks like too much of a hike then a walk up Craigower Hill above the Pitlochry Golf Course also provides some spectacular views.
