Take the bus to Callander to start the walk. The bakery on the high street has the best macaroni pies I have eaten in Scotland and Ben Ledi is a two-pie walk. Head west out of town along Leny Road.
Just off the Leny Road, the cycleway heading to Ben Ledi begins.
Halfway along are the Falls of Leny, a marvellous waterfall where a large rock splits the river into two fast-flowing streams.
The path up to Ben Ledi begins just beyond the waterfall. It's a well-worn path and easy to follow.
The path climbs steadily up to the shoulder of the hill, from where it's a steady plod to the summit.
The summit - 879m, so a little shy of Munro status.
Continue north from the summit to Lochan nan Corp, from where a path leads down alongside Stank Glen.
The path rejoins the railway near Loch Lubnaig. Head south, past the remains of St Bride's Chapel, and return towards Callander.
The Lade Inn, in Kilmahog, is a great spot for a post-walk pint.
Back to Callander for some more pies and the bus home.
