Bada Crionard

The walk up Bada Crionard isn't long, but it packs proper views for the effort involved. Starting from near Blairgowrie, you're looking at a straightforward hill rather than a serious mountain - the sort of thing you can knock out in an afternoon without needing crampons or a survival kit.

What makes it worth the trip is the vantage point once you're up there. You get sweeping views across Perthshire that stretch well beyond what you'd expect from the height. On a decent day the visibility is cracking, and the walk itself moves through varied terrain rather than just trudging up a boring slope.

This is solid walking country rather than a technical climb. You'll need proper boots and shouldn't underestimate Scottish weather - conditions change fast up here - but families with older kids and regular walkers will find it manageable. Allow three to four hours return if you're taking your time. The peak itself isn't dramatic, but the walk demands respect and delivers on the scenery.

If you're based at Glenshee Glamping, only 5.6 miles away, Bada Crionard works as a solid half-day outing that breaks up your stay without eating up the whole day. Blairgowrie is your nearest town for supplies and a decent coffee afterwards. Worth doing once you're in the area, though not worth a special trip on its own.
