Where: The Mount, 423m/1,388', P 110m, Hump, OS 72, NT 098421
The Mount is a wooded hill south of Kirkurd, it would be a great viewpoint if it wasn't for the trees!
There was good parking at the start of the forest track and I had taken the precaution of reading reports on Hill Bagging so that I knew which tracks and paths to take. Just past an old quarry marked on the map but not obvious on the ground, I turned right on to another track going uphill and followed that until I came across a small cairn marking the start of a rough path that went easily all the way to the summit.....
There was a large cairn with the actual high point nearby. Unfortunately, the only view was a tantalising glimpse of the Culter hills.....
