It was a pleasant afternoon after rain in the morning so I headed the short distance through Strathblane almost to Croftamie. I parked at the junction of the A81/B834, followed the track west and then took a rougher track through a couple of fields to the radio mast at the top of the hill. There were sheep in the first field so Ben stayed on his lead.....
It was difficult to know where the highest point was, it certainly wasn't the trig although it was the best viewpoint with a glimpse of Loch Lomond and the Luss hills......

Knockinhaglish has the ruins of an old church in the wood, it's marked on the OS map as a fort/earthwork. The names means church on the hill. I've still to visit it. Great blog Neil.
Thanks Steve. It was very wet ground when I was there and I hadn't bothered to put my boots on so I only went to the summit. I didn't explore further. A lot of the smaller hills are interesting because of previous earthworks/buildings etc.
