Ben Lawers
At 1,214 metres, Perthshire's highest peak, famous for rare alpine plants, with views over Loch Tay from the summit.
Ben Lawers lies on the north shore of Loch Tay within a National Nature Reserve managed by the National Trust for Scotland, where rare alpine plants can be seen in summer. The standard route starts from the north car park and climbs via Beinn Ghlas to the summit. It is about 11 km round trip and takes 5–6 hours. Strong walkers can link two Munros in one trip. The weather changes quickly, so bring windproof clothing and a map. You can also take short walks on the reserve's nature trails without climbing the mountain.
