On the Gargunnock Hills Rough moorland which is managed as a grouse moor even though the heather is outnumbered by the grass. The mapped track is an exaggeration - there is a strip of flattened grass from four wheel drive vehicles and some churned up bog, but nothing to suggest a proper two dashed line track.

Carleatheran summit The cairn at the top of the Gargunnock Hills. It is uncertain if the grassy mound is a cairn as well. It appears to be made of boulders rather than another step of basalt.

Gargunnock Hills traps, Tulmore An expanse of flat terrain above the steep Gargunnock Hills scarp. The flatness is the top of a lava flow, now a resistant layer of basalt. The next flow can be seen as a step (hence the term trap) on the right. (We are told the term &quot;trap&quot; comes from Swedish, but it is of course an English word too.)

Above Black Craig Grassy moorland on the Gargunnock Hills with fine views of the Forth plain beneath the steep scarp. Quite a few Highland Perthshire hills are clearly visible from Ben Venue to Ben Vorlich.

Path above Standmilane Crags Exaggerated somewhat to road status by the Ordnance Survey, this is a quad bike track of flattened grass with some deep boggy bits which runs the length of the escarpment. The view is towards Stronend above Fintry. Progress off the path is liable to be slow and frustrating, this is rough country.
