About Ben Vuirich
A hill of heather and bog, Ben Vuirich rises in the Grampians of Perthshire, north of Pitlochry and south-east of the Beinn a' Ghlò group. That character — peaty, rough ground rather than rock — sets the tone for the day.
It reaches 903 m, enough for Corbett status alongside Marilyn, HuMP and Simm listings.
