Schiehallion (3553ft) in Perthshire is Scotland’s 59th highest mountain and one of its best-known and best loved landmarks. It was originally thought to have been the centre of mainland Scotland, but now with the aid of technology the actual centre of Scotland is now 5 Km to the East on the side of a bracken covered hill, I prefer Schiehallion as the Centre.
