Why "Schiehallion"?
Named after one of Scotland’s most iconic Munros, Schiehallion (1,083m) rises from the heart of Perthshire. Known as the “Fairy Hill of the Caledonians”, its distinctive, symmetrical shape made it central to an 18th-century scientific experiment to estimate the mass of the Earth.
Like the mountain itself, the Schiehallion base layer is designed to endure — precise, dependable, and built for serious conditions.
