A pleasant walk at the western end of the Ochil Hills, mostly on good hill paths with extensive views of the River Forth, Stirling and Alloa.
Ascend a good but steep hill path out of Menstrie and follow a grassy path up the eastern slopes of Dumyat to the summit. Descend north over a grassy hillside to join the farm track south east of Lossburn Reservoir. Cross over to the eastern side of Menstrie Glen below the reservoir, pass a derelict farmstead and return to Menstrie down the undulating farm track and hill paths.
