Standing at a height of approximately 400 meters (1,312 feet), Buckie Braes is not considered a mountain but rather a hill.

Covered in lush green vegetation, the hill is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including heather, wildflowers, and several species of birds and small mammals. Many visitors are drawn to Buckie Braes for its peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to spot wildlife in its natural habitat.

The hill features well-maintained paths and trails that cater to both beginners and experienced hikers. The main trail is a circular route that takes approximately two hours to complete, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Along the way, hikers can take in the beauty of the rolling hills, meandering rivers, and distant mountains that make Perthshire renowned for its scenic landscapes.

Buckie Braes is also a popular spot for paragliding and hang gliding due to its favorable wind conditions and open space. Adventurous visitors can take to the skies and experience the thrill of gliding above the hill, taking in the sweeping vistas from a unique perspective.

Pitheavlis office building Looking down at the main entrance. The building is stepped into the hillside, with the entrance on the fourth floor. To further blend it into its surroundings in accordance with planning regulations, rooftop gardens were planted (and are still maintained) on the lower floors. The building was completed in June 1983 as the head office of General Accident. The architects were James Parr and Partners of Dundee.
