Sròn Meadhonach, Angus is a prominent landscape feature located in the eastern part of Angus, Scotland. Also known as Middle Nose, it is a striking hill with a distinctive shape and elevation of approximately 2,700 feet (823 meters). The hill is situated within the Cairngorms National Park, which is renowned for its scenic beauty and diverse wildlife.

Sròn Meadhonach is characterized by its steep slopes and rugged terrain, making it a popular destination for hikers, mountaineers, and nature enthusiasts. The hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the stunning Grampian Mountains and the picturesque glens that lie below.

The vegetation on Sròn Meadhonach is predominantly heather, with patches of grasses and mosses covering the lower slopes. This provides a habitat for various bird species, such as ptarmigans and red grouse, as well as small mammals like mountain hares. Rare alpine plants can also be found in the more inaccessible areas.

The hill is often accessed via well-defined trails, although caution is advised due to its steep and challenging nature. Experienced climbers may choose to ascend the more exposed ridges for a greater adrenaline rush. However, it is essential to be properly equipped and prepared for changing weather conditions as the summit can be subject to strong winds and sudden changes in visibility.

Overall, Sròn Meadhonach, Angus is a remarkable landscape feature that offers an unforgettable experience for those seeking outdoor adventures and breathtaking views of the Scottish Highlands.

View up Glen Cally This is the very northern end of Glen Cally, the burn to the right. It divides in two just a hundred metres further up, and then peters out. Or rather springs into existence. The same happens to the path. The spur in the middle of the image leads straight onto the Mayar plateau. Just two miles from here and you are in Corrie Fee, which seems so far away when you are walking in Glen Isla.

Summit of Mid Hill This, I think, is the summit cairn of Mid Hill, a pretty non-descript hill at the end of Glen Isla, which leads onto a large plateau. This cairn is fairly small, not really a cairn. A bit further west is a larger stony structure, but this seems slightly higher.

Track up Mid Hill The last kilometre of the track up Mid Hill. This is a very boring track, bulldozed onto the hill, but it gives easy access to the hills beyond.

Shielings in Glen Cally Some of the two-wheel tracks in this area actually develop quite nicely into beautiful paths. This one is a good example. Others will stay eyesores for many years.
