Towering above the village of Spittal of Glenshee, Ben Gulabin is an imposing Marilyn that provides a lot of bang for your buck. At 2,644 feet (806 m), the hill is a particularly straightforward Corbett and can be tackled directly via a short ascent. You can start fairly high and before you know it, you’ll be standing at the summit, gazing across the magnificent southern peaks of the Cairngorms National Park.

Hiking
Ben Gulabin is a wonderfully-peaceful summit that rises steeply above the Spittal of Glenshee. Standing at 2,644 feet (805 m), the summit affords wonderful views over the dramatic mountainous landscape. Ben Gulabin is one of the easiest Corbetts to bag due to the high level start and short climb from the road.
