This superb circular walk takes in Loch Lee before climbing steeply past the Falls of Unich and the Fall of Damff to cross open moorland, before descending the track on the Shank of Inchgrundle with panoramic views over the loch. A shorter, less strenuous walk would be to visit the first waterfall and return the same way.

Terrain

Good tracks, rough path, extremely boggy and faint path on moorland section.

Public Transport

Very limited (school bus times only) bus from Brechin.

Start

Invermark car park, Glen Esk. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
