==Location== Schiehallion lies between [[Loch Tay]], [[Loch Rannoch]] and [[Loch Tummel]], about {{convert|10|mi|km|abbr=off}} to the west-north-west of [[Aberfeldy, Scotland|Aberfeldy]] in [[Perthshire]].<ref name="visit">{{cite web| url=http://www.perthshire.co.uk/index.asp?pg=358| title=Schiehallion| publisher=VisitScotland Perthshire| access-date=11 April 2009}}</ref> The mountain, with an elevation of {{convert|1083|m|ft}}, is isolated from other peaks and has an almost perfectly conical shape from the west. The view of the broad eastern flank attracts many visitors to the shores of Loch Tummel. Schiehallion is sometimes described as the [[centre of Scotland]], as it lies only 5 km west of the [[centre of gravity]] of (a uniform plane in the shape of) mainland Scotland. The folk group ''[[Gaberlunzie]]'' sang a song "The Back of Schiehallion", meaning Scotland.
