    Mayar - a Munro in the east of Scotland that is commonly hiked with its neighbour Driesh. A great walk from Glen Clova.

      Mayar is typical of the Munros of the Mounth, its summit being rounded and fairly undistinguished. It is easily linked with neighbouring Driesh in what is a popular hike for those from the Dundee region.

      However, its northern slopes fall away to Corrie Fee, a magnificent glacial bowl. This is undoubtedly the mountain's best feature, with steep sides, a picturesque waterfall and a remarkable flat bottom. Keep your eyes peeled for eagles in the skies above.

        A good beginner Munro and can be walked in a circuit with Dreish.
        Ascent made by Corrie Fee is well worth it, some spectacular views to be had.
