About Buttergask Hill
The walk up Buttergask Hill rewards you with views across Perthshire that stretch for miles once you've done the graft. It's not a particularly high summit - nothing that demands serious climbing gear - but the approach is steady enough to get the lungs working, and the panorama at the top makes the effort feel worth it.
From Perth, it's straightforward to reach, and the hill itself attracts a mix of local walkers and visitors keen to bag something with a decent payoff without needing a full day's expedition. The terrain is manageable for anyone with reasonable fitness; families with older kids will find it doable, though younger children might flag. Allow a couple of hours for a relaxed ascent and descent, longer if you're stopping to take in the views or pick your way carefully over rougher ground.
The location makes it a natural add-on if you're staying at one of the nearby parks - Beech Hedge is only a few miles away and a proper spot for a base. There's something about ending a day's exploration with a straightforward hill walk rather than yet another visitor attraction, and Buttergask delivers exactly that. On a clear day, the visibility is brilliant. On a damp one, you'll understand why locals know the weather can turn here without warning.
It's free to walk, obviously, and parking is usually available near the start. Go early in the day if you want peace - summer weekends can draw a crowd.
