Green Law

Green Law isn't a destination that'll take your breath away on sight - it's a modest peak near Perth that rewards walkers who don't mind a bit of graft for the view rather than those after dramatic Highland scenery. The summit sits at a decent height without being intimidating, making it accessible to most people with reasonable fitness. You get views across Perthshire on a clear day, which is when it's actually worth the trip.

This is proper walking territory, not a stroll-and-sit-down kind of place. Allow two to three hours depending on which route you take from the base, and wear boots - it gets boggy in patches. Families with older kids who've done a few hills before will manage fine; younger ones might find it a slog.

What makes Green Law work as part of a wider holiday is its proximity to Perth and the variety of caravan and glamping spots dotted round about - Greenhill Farm Glamping is barely two miles away, so you can make it a morning walk before settling in elsewhere. It's also the kind of walk you do when other things have disappointed, or when you want proper exercise without a three-hour commitment.

There's no visitor centre, no café, no facilities to speak of. That's partly the appeal - you're not paying for the privilege of being somewhere managed to death. Just turn up, walk, come back down. Best visited in late spring or early autumn when midges aren't at their worst and the ground's firmer.
