Dumgoyne

The first set of hills of any note, heading northwards, on the West Highland Way are the Strathblane Hills, of which Dumgoyne at 427 metres is the one which really stands out on its own. A real favourite with locals, the summit offers a panoramic view, taking in the mountains to the west and north, the lowland of Strathclyde to the south and the close by Earl's Seat to the east.

The star of the
Dumgoyne Climb

I started the walk in Dumgoyne by taking a small pathway just north of the Glengoyne Distillery (A81). The path leads up past a cottage and through some forestry and moves on to an open field. A quick traverse of the field leads to the base of Dumgoyne. The climb is steeper than it looks but the summit can be reached in around 2 hours, with a well trodden path the obvious way up.
