Meall Mòr Moorland hill, well on the Strath Braan side. The northern approaches are clothed in Sitka spruce and the more amenable southern approaches are guarded by a lack of car parking and a very hazardous road to walk along. One for the bike.

Several laybys have appeared on the road through Strath Braan. They were built for the traffic constructing the wind farms.  Afterwards they were all sealed off at great expense, lest anyone dare stop.  It's a Perthshire thing.
There is still a good spot at the A826/A822 junction.
