Schiehallion (; Scottish Gaelic: Sìdh Chailleann, IPA: [ʃiˈxaʎən̪ˠ]) is a prominent mountain in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Schiehallion has a rich botanical life, interesting archaeology, and a unique place in scientific history for an 18th-century experiment in "weighing the world". The mountain's popularity amongst walkers led to erosion on its footpath and extensive repairs were undertaken in 2001.A visit to Schiehallion represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Pitlochry online trip planner to plot your vacation.
The name Schiehallion is an anglicised form of the Gaelic name Sìdh Chailleann, which translates as "Mound of the Caledonians", although Maskelyne (1772) reported a translation of "Constant Storm", besides a Lowland Scots name of "Maiden-Pap".

Views from the top make the effort worthwhile! Is amazing. The boulder field is hard going but only lasts for 20 mins or so. Clear paths.
