About Botich
The walk up Botich is steep, relentless, and absolutely worth every heavy-legged moment. This Perthshire peak sits just outside Perth, making it ideal for anyone staying at the excellent Luxury Hideaways resort nearby - you can be on the trail within minutes of checking in.
It's a proper hill rather than a gentle stroll. The path winds through woodland at first, then opens onto moorland where the views stretch across central Scotland. On a clear day you're looking at genuine distance - the Tay valley spreads below, and the larger peaks of the Highlands rise on the horizon. The trig point at the summit is modest but functional, and there's usually enough shelter to pause for a thermos and a sandwich without being blown clean off the ridge.
Allow two to three hours for the round trip depending on your pace and fitness. Walkers will get proper satisfaction from this one. Families with young children might find the steepness frustrating - it's not a gentle ramble, and there's no halfway house café or shortcut. The better time to go is early morning or midweek when Perth's day-trippers haven't arrived.
Freeze-dried legs aside, this is straightforward hill walking. No scrambling, no exposure, just consistent gradient and views that justify the effort. If you're basing yourself at Luxury Hideaways and want genuine exercise rather than a tourist circuit, Botich delivers.
