Queen’s View looks straight down the length of Loch Tummel to the pointed peak of Schiehallion beyond, one of the most photographed views in the Highlands. It’s often linked to Queen Victoria, though the name may well be older. There’s a Forestry visitor centre and café at the top, with an easy path to the viewpoint itself. Free to visit, with a charge for the car park.
