Ben Tee is a prominent hill located in the western part of Inverness-shire, Scotland. With an elevation of 904 meters (2,966 feet), it is considered one of the highest hills in the area. Situated near the Great Glen, Ben Tee provides breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The hill is known for its distinctive shape, resembling a pyramid when viewed from certain angles. It is composed mainly of granite, which gives it a rugged and rocky appearance. The terrain consists of steep slopes and craggy outcrops, making it a challenging climb for outdoor enthusiasts.

Hikers and mountaineers are drawn to Ben Tee for its stunning vistas and the sense of achievement that comes with reaching its summit. The ascent can be approached from various directions, with the most popular route starting from the north near the village of Roybridge. This path takes climbers through a mixture of heather moorland and boggy ground before reaching the steeper slopes higher up.

From the summit of Ben Tee, on a clear day, one can see the nearby mountains of the Lochaber region, including Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the British Isles. The views extend across the vast expanse of the Great Glen, encompassing Loch Lochy and Loch Linnhe.

While Ben Tee is not as well-known as some of the neighboring peaks, it offers a challenging and rewarding experience for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to explore the beauty of Inverness-shire's mountainous terrain.

Eastern slopes of Ben Tee An area of moorland with a mixture of heather and grass, all rather wet on this dreich day. A few sheep roaming around, surprising to see them so far up the hill (about 600m). Lochan Dìota is visible in the clouds below.

Summit cairn, Ben Tee Ben Tee is rated as one of Scotland's better "smaller mountains" by Hamish Brown according to Wikipedia. That said, it is not that small since it is both a Corbett and not far short of being a Munro at a height of 2,966 feet.

Looking uphill to Ben Tee Probably the last of the winter snows - somewhat melted and 'plodgy' this particular day. The upper slopes are normally quite a boulderfield above this grass, apparently.
