Balmashanner Hill, or 'Bummie' dominates the skyline south of Forfar. A network of paths link the old slate quarries on the hill, offering some reasonably energetic walks.
From Reid Park, you can climb quite steeply to the top of Bummie, where you are rewarded with panoramic views over Forfar and Strathmore towards the Angus glens and hills.
At the top, you can turn right towards an impressive turreted sandstone tower, which was built as a war memorial after the First World War. You can continue walking past Gallow Hill and Slatefield quarries to the Dundee Road.
Alternatively, turn left at the top of the hill towards a shelter and viewpoint intdicator, which was gifted to the people of Forfar by James Anderson in 1929. Return to Forfar via Lour Road and South Street.
