Time: 3-4 hours I was delighted to be involved in the launch of Glenlivet’s three Smugglers’ Trails a few years ago and spent some time exploring the remoter quarters of Glen Livet, climbing high on to the Ladder Hills that separate this remarkable whisky-producing glen from Donside to the south. Corbett-baggers will be well aware of the riches of the area – Carn Mor, 2639ft/804m, is the highest of the Ladder Hills, and in the east the whisky hill itself, Ben Rinnes 2759ft/840m, and its neighbour, Corryhabbie Hill 2561ft/781m, stand close to the march with another famous whisky producing glen, Glenfiddich.
