Mid Hill

The walk up Mid Hill from Killin is straightforward enough, and on a clear day the views across Loch Tay and towards Ben Lawers are genuinely impressive. It's not a brutal slog either - most people manage it in under two hours return, which makes it ideal if you're staying at Loch Tay Highland Lodges and want to stretch your legs without committing to a full mountain day.

The summit sits at around 900 metres and feels properly elevated, though you won't be scrambling over rocks or anything daring. The path climbs steadily through moorland, and there's something rather satisfying about watching the landscape drop away as you gain height. On the way down, Killin's rather pleasant sitting at the foot of the glen - all tree-lined and quiet.

Walkers will find this worthwhile, particularly if the weather's cooperating. Families with confident hill-walkers can manage it, though younger children might find the ascent tedious. It's the sort of thing that works well as a morning outing before settling in for lunch by the loch.

Allow a good three hours to not rush it. There's no entry fee as such - just park near Killin and head up. Spring and autumn are best for clear views, and go early if the forecast suggests afternoon cloud rolling in. From the glamping park, you're barely fifteen minutes from the trailhead, making this a proper local's choice rather than a destination in itself.
