Castle Hill

The Ochil Hills have several access points. One of the most famous for its height and the view from the top, is Dumyat. There are two routes, one is Castle Hill and the other is the Dumyat itself. It's not very high but it is not particularly easy to climb, and you should go to the tourist information office for some advice before setting out. There are two main entrances, in the village of Menstrie or near the church of Logie (more towards Stirling), where you can park your vehicle. At 6am on a beautiful morning, I was heading to the top of Dumyat, but in the fog I got lost and ended up on Castle Hill.
