Abbey Craig (Wallace Monument)

 22 October 2021

Participants: Just me

Where: Abbey Craig, 111m/364', P 83m, Tump, OS 57, NS 809

The weather had been overcast on my previous visit to this well known hill. Today it was one of those very clear autumn days that you get before winter descends so I decided to pay a return visit to see the view properly and get some better photos. The hill is, of course crowned by the Wallace Monument and there were a lot of visitors about. The monument from the car park.....


The views to the east were mostly obscured by the trees that cover the hill but it was the ring of higher hills to the west that I had come to see. The Gargunnock hills with Ben Lomond distant....


The Gargunnock Hills to Ben Ledi.....


Ben Ledi from the foot of the monument.....


Panorama, Ben Lomond to Ben Vorlich.....


Ben Ledi, Stobinian and Ben More beyond, Stuc a'Chroin and Ben Vorlich.....


Mission accomplished!
