We started this walk one sunny January
morning in the small town of Dollar, nestling at the foot
of the Ochil hills in Central Scotland. It took us up
through the spectacularly narrow defile of Dollar Glen
with its myriad waterfalls, past ancient Castle Campbell
and over a hill track to Glen Devon. From there we
followed the main road round into Yetts o' Muckhart and
thence by a public footpath back to Dollar. This picture
was taken from the footpath looking North to the Ochils. Total
distance: 12 miles |

The Ochils are full of historic and interesting curiosities. The nature of the hills does mean that navigation can be challenging if the mists come in. They also tend to be boggy in places so spare socks and dry shoes in the car are a good idea. |
