Just 3 days after bagging 3 more munros in a first visit to the Lawers Group, I headed into the heart of Perthshire to the west of Aberfeldy and parked up at the Braes of Foss. This time it was Schiehallion in my sights. Positioned just south of an east-west line between Loch Tummel to the east and Loch Rannoch to the west, Schiehallion’s pyramid like shape and pointy top rising to a respectable 3,552 ft above a relatively flat area makes it easy to spot from across much of central Scotland.
Day/date: Tuesday 24 July, 2018

Start point: Braes of Foss Car park
Drive length: 2.10 hours
