Creag Bhreac

Overlooking the village of Moulin, this heather-clad Perthshire hill offers a quieter alternative to its popular neighbour, Ben Vrackie. The ascent through open moorland rewards walkers with a clear perspective of the Tummel Valley and the sharp profile of Schiehallion on the western horizon.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic Creag Bhreac, meaning 'Speckled Crag', likely a reference to the mottled appearance of grey rock outcrops breaking through the purple heather.
• •Walkers often approach the hill from the south, passing near the Lettoch standing stones, or include it as a detour on the descent from the much higher Ben Vrackie.
• •The summit provides an excellent vantage point for viewing the massive plateau of the Beinn a' Ghlò range to the north and the winding River Tay to the south.
• •Choosing this hill over its famous neighbour significantly increases your chances of having a summit to yourself, provided you do not mind the lack of a paved path.
