The Carn an Tuirc, nr Glenshee, Aberdeenshire.
Difficulty. 2/10. Duration. 2 Hrs.

Around one and a half mile south of the Callater walk is another fine traverse which is not exacting but enjoyable. Lucky to have another fine day I set of on the walk to the base of Carn an Tuirc 1019

There is parking, not official, by the roadside, near a bridge next to the Cairnwell Burn, keep your eyes open, as they say, as this is basically in the middle of nowhere and can be easily missed, a map is a good idea	Carn a Greine Leading to Carn Dubh

The journey travels parallel with the road, on an old military road, under Carn Dubh 822 for around a half mile before reaching an old bridge and turning inland following a stream. The stream has a number of small waterfalls along its way and the path is still fine. The land now starts to rise on a gradual basis and with Carn an Tuirc 1019 never out of sight, progress can be gauged quite easily.

In the distance, a usually snow clad Glas Maol 1068 can be kept in sight. With the now narrowing path, the objective is only to keep going around the base of the Munro.	Carn an Tuirc nr Glenshee
