Benachally, a mountain on the mutual border of Clunie and Caputh parishes, Perthshire, 7½ miles WNW of Blairgowrie. It rises to a height of 1594 feet above sea-level, and commands a splendid view of Stormont, Strathmore, the inland side of the Sidlaws and the Ochils, and a vast extent of the Grampians, together with dim glimpses of the Pentlands and the Lammermuirs. On its north-eastern side, at an elevation of some 950 feet, is a triangular loch, 7 furlongs long and 3½ wide; and in its eastern face is a large cavern, ` The Drop,' so called from the continual dropping of water from the roof.
