Farragon Hill

Farragon Hill is a summit reaching 783 meters in Perth and Kinross, situated between Aberfeldy and Loch Tummel in the Grampian Mountains. The open moorland setting provides clear views across the surrounding terrain and offers gentle slopes on most approach routes.

The peak has long served as a geographical reference point for travelers and mountaineers exploring the central Highlands. Its elevated position made it useful for navigation and mapping expeditions across the moorland regions.

Visitors often build and maintain stone cairns at the summit, following a tradition of mountain markers used by Scottish hikers for navigation. These handmade structures show how people connect with the landscape through simple, practical customs.

Bring Ordnance Survey maps Landranger 52 or Explorer OL49E to navigate the marked access routes leading to the summit. The open moorland offers multiple pathways, and visiting during drier months provides safer walking conditions on the exposed terrain.

The summit sits precisely at a geographical crossroads between several water systems in the moorland, making it a natural turning point for extended walking routes. From here, the view encompasses watersheds that flow in different directions across the region.
