Ochil Hills - Dumyat - From Menstrie - Via Menstrie Glen

Dumyat  /dəˈmaɪ.ɪt/ (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Mhèad) 

Dumyat is a craggy outlier at the western end of the main range of the Ochil hills. Though only 1,373ft or 418m in height it is a superb viewpoint along the length of the Forth Valley to Edinburgh, the Pentlands and beyond as well as to the south and west.


At the top you find a beacon, full of rocks, the usual Ordnance Survey triangulation point, and memorials dedicated to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
You also find the panorama referred to above, which would be the envy of many much bigger mountains. The view down to the Wallace Monument, and to Stirling and the Castle is the highlight, and well worth the gentle climb.
