Ben Cleuch is a hill in Scotland.
Geography
It is the highest point in the Ochil Hills, and the highest point in Clackmannanshire. It is 721 metres (2,365 ft) high[1]. As the highest point in the Ochils, it is marked by a trig point within a stone windshelter.
Features
On a clear day, the views are excellent, particularly those to the north looking towards the Southern Highlands. Ben Lomond, Ben Ledi, Stùc a' Chroin and Ben Vorlich are especially prominent. Looking to the south gives excellent views over the Forth Valley region, the Forth bridges and Edinburgh to the east, Glasgow to the west: almost a coast to coast view but not quite.
Geodesy
Ben Cleuch was the origin (meridian) of the 6 inch and 1:2500 Ordnance Survey maps of the counties of Perth and Clackmannan.
