Hiking

Glas Tulaichean is a 1,051m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. It can most easily be ascended from Spittal of Glenshee. The Dalmunzie House Hotel (at the time of writing) will allow walkers to use their car park for a small fee. I saw my first eagle flying from a nest in the cliffs to the northeast of the summit of this Munro. Such a majestic sight to see. I'll never forget it.

Hiking

From the Spittal of Glenshee, the land rover track makes an easy approach to this Munro. A bike could be taken up to some ruins, if not to the summit. Parking at the hotel is allowed with permission.

Mountain biking

Awesome views (when not in the cloud) from this Munro. Gravel landrover track from the Hillwalker's Car Park near Spittal of Glenshee to the summit. Larger gravel above Glenlochsie Lodge (ruin) makes for tricky traction in places and all rather bone-jarring. Completely rideable by big eMTB except possibly for approx 200m some 650m from the summit - loss of traction.
