From the Wikipedia article
Ben Cleuch, from Scottish Gaelic: Beinn Cloiche, lit. 'stony prominent hill' (though likely influenced by the Scots word cleugh meaning "ravine", which some sources derive the name from) is a hill in the Ochil Hills range, part of the Central Lowlands of Scotland. It is the highest point in the range, Clackmannanshire and the Central Belt of Scotland; the summit is marked by a trig point within a stone windshelter and a viewpoint indicator.

Background
Description
On a clear day, the views are excellent, particularly those to the north looking towards the Southern Highlands. Ben Lomond (Beinn Laomainn), Ben Ledi (Beinn Lididh), Stùc a' Chroin and Ben Vorlich (Beinn Mhùrlaig) are especially prominent. Looking to the south gives excellent views over the Forth Valley region, the Forth bridges and Edinburgh to the east, Glasgow to the west: almost a coast to coast view but not quite.
