Ben Vorlich, Beinn Mhurlaig in Gaelic, rises south of Loch Earn close to the Highland boundary, and because it stands out from the lowlands of the Central Belt it's one of the most often-seen Munros. A trig point marks the top, with a lower cairn a little to the east. It pairs with its rougher neighbour Stuc a' Chroin, and the summit gives wide views out over the Lowlands.
