Dumyat Summit and Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Memorial

‘He who holds Stirling, holds Scotland,’ so the archaic and somewhat misogynistic saying goes. Hikes to Dumyat’s unique perch, where you can gaze out across the glorious lay of the land, make sense of this statement. This is where the Central Belt is squeezed by higher ground, the very threshold of the Scottish Highlands. Strategic, as well as scenic, gold.

Dumyat, (or Dumnyat) is a hill summit in the Ochil Hills near Stirling. It's a popular hill to climb for walkers and mountain bikers alike, despite being relatively small at 1,372 feet (418 metres).

It's an unmistakable hill for its shape, with two main summits of Castle Law on the west, and Dumyat to the east.

At the summit you'll find a memorial to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a trig point, and a beacon-topped cairn that is currently filled with stones that represent wishes.

Commissioned for the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977, this beacon was carried up by hand by the Menstrie Scout Group as part of a chain of beacons across the UK.

An easyily approached Marilyn, with a straight forward path from a small forestry car park. The views across to Stirling and beyond are good, and this makes a vast viewpoint.

It was a great hike and very enjoyable. It’s not too long, but part of the trail involves climbing over some rocks, which can be a bit slippery if it’s wet. The path coming back down the backside is muddy, so if it’s been raining, it’s better to return the same way you went up.
