Hiking

Ben Ledi is one of the Trossach's most popular peaks. The mountain is well known for Walter Scott's Lady of the Lake poem, one of the many products of the Romantic era. Its summit stands proud above the Highland Fault Line and gives excellent views towards the Central Belt, the Ochils and the Campsie Fells, as well as north into the heart of the Southern Highlands.

Hiking

The Ben Ledi is worth it! With good shoes, the very good paths up and down can be walked very well. Some fitness is required. Above wonderful views of the surrounding mountains, water and the town of Callander.
