Information about and images of ben cleuch in the ochils on undiscovered scotland. I'd originally planned a walk to take in the law, ben cleuch and kings seat. however, rain was forecast for around 4 p.m. and as the hills were shrouded in cloud i decided to go for the standard circular walk over ben cleuch. A moderate to strenuous walk to gain the plateau area of the high ochils. depending on weather conditions, you may be blessed with extensive views over stirling, the river forth and the forth valley. After a short descent, swing around and climb beside a fence to reach the surprisingly rocky summit of ben cleuch (721m), a splendid panoramic viewpoint. descend gently south east, then south along ben cleuch’s left arm, on to the top of the law, where the slender south ridge leads steeply down to tillicoultry.
