Overview

It is a steep-sided hill with much forestry plantation on its flanks but from the moorland above there are stunning views to Loch Lubnaig, Loch Voil, Loch Earn etc. Steep paths up and down through the forest, muddy in places, followed by an often boggy moorland section with intermittent paths, then steep back down to forestry roads. The path up is easier than it used to be however! A good circular hill walk for a short winter’s day, but rather rough and tough in parts.
