關於
Ben Vrackie (Scottish Gaelic: Beinn a' Bhreacaidh; sometimes anglicised as Ben Y Vrackie) is a mountain in Perthshire, Scotland. It lies north of the town of Pitlochry and reaches 842 metres (2,762 ft) high at its summit.
The summit may be reached by a direct path from Pitlochry or Killiecrankie, and commands views of Pitlochry and the surrounding glens. Loch a' Choire sits under the mountain's south face, and is known as a wild swimming spot.
The area around Ben Vrackie was designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1955. It is considered important thanks to its varied and well developed range of alpine flora, and for providing habitat to moorland breeding birds as well as larger birds of prey.
