Sròn Saobhaidhe is a prominent hill located in the county of Angus, Scotland. With an elevation of approximately 462 meters (1,516 feet), it is considered one of the notable peaks in the region. The hill is situated near the village of Glen Clova, within the Cairngorms National Park, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscapes.

The ascent to Sròn Saobhaidhe is relatively straightforward, with a well-defined path leading to the summit. The trail begins at the Glen Clova Hotel, taking hikers through picturesque moorlands and gradually ascending towards the peak.

Once at the summit, panoramic vistas await, showcasing the beautiful Glen Clova valley, the nearby Munros such as Mayar and Driesh, as well as the vast expanse of the Cairngorms National Park. On a clear day, it is even possible to catch a glimpse of the distant North Sea shimmering on the horizon.

Track through timber stacks Entire tree plantations have disappeared compared to previous years in the upper parts of Glen Isla, either the trees were large enough to be harvested, or they have suffered during the storms in winter 2021-22.
