Ben Vrackie, a mountain in Moulin parish, Perthshire, flanking the E side of the Pass of Killiecrankie, and culminating 2 ½ miles N of Moulin village. Rising to an altitude of 2757 feet above sea-level, it presents an appearance somewhat answering to its Gaelic name, Beinn-bhreac, which signifies 'the speckled mountain,' its purple heather contrasting with the grey rocks and stones; it forms a prominent feature in the scenery of a large extent of country; and it commands a view from the Central Grampians to Arthur's Seat, and from Ben Macdhui to Ben Nevis.
