Hendry's Corse (Breich)

26 February 2019
 
Participants: Neil and Ben
Where: Hendry's Corse, 362m/1,186', P 95m, Tump, OS 65, NS 974 577
 
Hendry's Corse lies south of Breich in West Lothian and is a large wooded area (although maybe for not much longer).....
 
We approached from the north on a good forestry track; the high starting point meant that it was only a gentle incline. We were passed by the occasional forestry truck- the reason soon became obvious- the whole of the high point of the hill was being cleared..... 
 

 
Approaching the highest point.....
 
 
The most interesting thing was this marked stone just north of the high point, the Thirl Stane which the Canmore web site says marks the boundary between West Calder and Carnwath parishes at the junction of three estates. Beyond it are yet more windmills with the Pentland Hills beyond that.....
 
 
It was a good leg stretcher although not the most inspiring of hills.
