We are the Kilmarnock & Loudoun Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a moderately strenuous walk, would classify it as a “B plus “ it starts from Logie Kirk near Stirling from the cemetery car park, starting off quite steeply on well established path eventually evening out closer to the summit, there are several view points on route to the top which has a large cairn & a memorial to the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, weather permitting we can have main break here, the decent is down the east side of the hill which is initially very steep but grassy, so tread carefully, this path is followed down to a track that leads towards Menstrie Glen, we then follow good paths for about 2 miles round the base of Dumyat back to the start point, distance of the walk is about 7/8 miles, gaiters optional, walking poles highly recommend
