Ben Ledi, Mountain summit in Trossachs, Scotland

Ben Ledi rises to 879 meters above sea level, standing as the highest elevation in the central section of the Trossachs near Callander.

The mountain's name originated from a misinterpretation by Reverend Doctor James Robertson, who incorrectly translated it as 'hill of god' instead of 'hill of the slope'.

Local communities gathered at the summit during summer solstice celebrations, marking the mountain's role in traditional Scottish Highland customs.

The ascent follows a maintained hill path from the A84 road parking area, with the complete round trip covering approximately 4.75 miles of terrain.

A memorial iron cross near the summit honors Sergeant Harry Lawrie, who lost his life during a mountain rescue helicopter operation in 1987.

Location: Stirling
