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.
