Bruntshields

Below Glenclova Forest The Burn of Farchal flows in the dip from right to left, to join Prosen Water a short distance downstream. Why the forest is called 'Glenclova', when it is at the head of Glen Prosen and not accessible from Glen Clova at all, is a bit of a mystery to me!

Bruntshields is a prominent hill located in the Angus region of Scotland. Situated in the eastern part of the country, it forms part of the Grampian Mountains, which are renowned for their picturesque landscapes and natural beauty.

Standing at an elevation of approximately 520 meters (1,706 feet), Bruntshields offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and neighboring hills. Its distinctive shape, with a well-defined peak and gentle slopes, makes it easily recognizable from a distance.

The hill is mainly composed of granite, a type of rock commonly found in the Grampian Mountains. This geological makeup gives Bruntshields a rugged and rocky appearance, with occasional outcrops visible along its slopes.

Several hiking trails traverse its slopes, offering varying levels of difficulty to cater to different skill levels.

Wildlife is abundant in the area, with various bird species, such as buzzards and kestrels, often spotted soaring above the hill. Red deer and mountain hares are also known to inhabit the region, adding to the natural diversity and charm of Bruntshields.
