A grand dome that looks particularly enticing from Callater, hikes to Tolmount take you to a gorgeous high viewpoint of the Mounth plateau. Its craggy north face is its best feature, an awesome sight that rises imperiously above Allt an Loch. Trails link it to neighbouring Munros, making a bagging raid a definite possibility, if you’re feeling that way inclined.

    Hiking

    Tolmount is a 958m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. When walking over from neighbouring Tom Buidhe it doesn't feel as if you descend an re-ascend much between the two (less than 100m) and it should take just over half an hour.

    In view of the good weather, we decided on the big round with six Munros. The Tolmount was the second of the day.

    Hiking

    A good viewpoint and can be easily approached from several directions. Many take Jock's road from Glen Callater, or walk with 5 other Munros from Glenshee. However the route I took followed Jock's Road from Glen Doll. Good paths and combined with Tom Buidhe.
