The intersection of a variety of MTB and walking trails, the summit of Minch Moor is also blessed with a substantial cairn. And from a biking perspective, once you've enjoyed the view and rested (or, this being Scotland, decided you've had enough of the rain) the descent from here is an excellent, relatively non-technical blast. Be careful, though - some of those rocks can get pretty hurty if they caress you at speed.
