About the walk: This walk starts in Glenogil and runs up the side of Glenogil reservoir before following the Toardy Burn to pass through the steep sided gully of Craig Mou. Now in Glen Moy the route crosses the East Burn of Glenmoye to the ruin of Shank before crossing the West Burn and contouring around Craigthran. There is a gentle downhill followed by a gentle uphill before crossing into Glen Clova, passing by Gella farm before arriving at our destination. This route is on very good tracks all the way, has very varied scenery and has the added attraction of passing through three very different glens.

 

Full hillwalking gear required.  Please bring a packed lunch.
