Where: Blacklaw Hill, 284m/932', P 52m, Tump, OS 53, NO 289 344 and Blacklaw Hill West Top, 273m/896', P 34m, Tump, OS 53, NO 275 349
On my way home from DMFF. It was a bit cloudy and misty but still not bad for the time of year. These two Tumps are part of the Sidlaw Hills and lie just to the north of Dundee, west of the Dundee/Couper Angus road. There is lots of parking at Piperdam and a good track follows the north shore of the loch of the same name, turning into a path once past the loch. The top can just be seen from the loch shore, above some trees.....
The path wends gently up the hill and easily reaches the trig at the top. There is also a memorial seat, and a couple of large cairns.....
The view back to Piperdam.....
The view to Dundee and the Tay.....
There are a lot of paths on these hills but the one to the West top was obvious. Approaching the West top.....
The summit is marked by a couple of boulders and the view from there looking west is to King's Seat, the highest hill in the range. Unfortunately, mostly cloud covered today.....
I retraced the outward route over Blacklaw Hill to Piperdam.....
A nice walk, I would do these again on a better day.
