Hill, Mountain in Angus

Carn an Fhidhleir

Forter Castle, Glenisla Forter Castle dates from 1560; it clearly fell into disrepair as a sympathetic rebuild was made in the 1990s. A notice at the gate emphasises that it's private - no doubt it's appearance has made tourists think it to be an antiquity open to the public! It's available currently as a luxury holiday let.

Heading more deeply into Glen Beanie A hill walker following the hill road in the glen which begins at the public road in Glen Isla. Initially the valley road is rough but has a generally hard surface as it was used as a forest road for the extraction of timber. At this point in the valley however the surface is poor, being worn, pot-holed and muddy.
