This hillwalk in the Ochils takes in the rolling summits of Whitewisp and Innerdownie Hills, both over 2000 feet. Our route begins in Dollar Glen on good tracks before taking to the open hill, with some steep ascents on the way to Whitewisp. A high level ridgewalk leads to the second summit, with great views on a clear day. The return route is a steady descent on a grassy path to Glen Quey and its reservoir then on the path between Tormaukin and Castle Campbell to Dollar.
