Ben Chonzie and Maell na Seide and Carn Chois from Comrie

Ben Chonzie is one of the gentlest Munros to reach, so you get a genuine 931m summit and miles of empty Perthshire hill for a fraction of the technical effort of most.

About this route

A 28.1km circuit that climbs Ben Chonzie, a 931m Munro, from Glen Lednock north of Comrie. Long, quiet and mostly on hill track, with the big summit plateau at its heart.

Hazards & notes

The summit plateau is broad and featureless, and becomes disorientating in mist, so map and compass skills are needed. The track is boggy in stretches and the glen holds its own weather.

Emergency

Call 999 or 112 → ask for Police → request Mountain Rescue. Register Emergency SMS: text "register" to 999.
