It includes Loch Tay and Ben Lawers, at an elevation of 3,984 feet (1,214 metres) in the Grampian Mountains. The main settlements are Aberfeldy, Fortingall, Kenmore, and Killin. Breadalbane is primarily a region of deer forests and shooting and fishing, with a little cultivation limited to the glens and river valleys.
