Although it has areas which are slightly challenging, it doesn't take too long to do, particularly if you use the car park near the Moulin Hotel, and the views are great!

What a climb this is, the scenery is so beautiful, we managed to climb Ben Vrackie along with our 11 year old Rough Collie and being in our 60's ourselves we consider this quite an achievement. Coming back down and visiting the Moullin Inn is very pleasant as well. More
