📌 Kenmore, Perth & Kinross
★★★
Kenmore Hill isn’t really a proper hill at all – it’s just a minor bulge on the northern slopes of higher Meall a’ Choire Chreagaich. However it offers wonderful views of Kenmore village, and across Loch Tay with the mighty Ben Lawers ridge beyond. The Bolfracks Estate has created a network of waymarked paths which make a circular walk possible through a mixture of woodland lower down and open ground high up. Access to the car park is quickest from the north for most visitors, but the long drive through lonely Glen Quaich to the south is quite exciting.
