From the west the mountain appears as an almost perfect pyramid. In reality it’s a long, tapered hill, which climbs smoothly and conveniently to a narrow, elevated summit. It was once used to weigh the world, fairies are rumoured to gather on its slopes, and it’s sometimes described as the centre of Scotland.

Amazing views in good weather. Easy path 2/3 of the way up, turns very rocky at the top. I saw people with trainers on and wondered how they made it without turning an ankle.

Easy walk. Dog struggled on the last 2/3 of the way as it is very bouldery.
