Torlum

Torlum sits just outside Crieff, a straightforward hill walk that delivers proper Highland views without requiring serious mountaineering skills. The summit sits at a decent height - high enough to see across Perthshire on a clear day, but low enough that you won't need technical gear or hours of scrambling to reach it.

The walk itself is the main appeal here. It's the sort of peak that rewards you with panoramic vistas once you've done the graft - on a good day you get the breadth of the region spread out beneath you, and that payoff makes the climb feel worthwhile. Don't expect solitude or a wilderness experience; this is accessible walking country rather than remote backcountry.

Histories buffs and serious hikers will appreciate it more than casual strollers. Families with younger kids might find the ascent a bit relentless. Allow two to three hours return, depending on fitness and how long you linger at the top.

The location works well if you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Comrie Croft or Twenty Shilling Wood Holiday Park are close enough for an afternoon outing. Crieff itself is just a few miles downhill, so you've got town amenities and restaurants within easy reach once you're back down. It's a solid day out if the weather cooperates, and the views justify the effort.
