:clap: That's them. I did wonder if you might get it, given your recent TR!


Quite, it did have a familiar look to it! Mind you, I'd been looking at it for ages, and only thought of that area today...

I'm descending a small hill accessed very easily from that town, which is in turn close to a major road route.

Our walk started from the Head of the Pine Forest, and went over a little crag.

Cheers.

I had a feeling it was Freuchie a while ago but couldn't work out the viewpoint so wasn't convinced until I used Google Satellite 3D view :)

Well here's the next from a road less travelled, probably easy as the hill is a bit of a giveaway.
