Lone tree in the Touch Hills The Touch Hills (pronounced 'tooch', with the 'ch' as in loch), are an array of many knolls, hillocks and layered basalt lava flows. The name apparently derives from the Gaelic word 'tulach', meaning knoll or hillock, and it's not difficult to see why.

Cut line, Garshelloch Woods. The ride is the route of the Finnart - Grangemouth pipeline. Crude oil is imported at a deep water terminal in Loch Long and transported to the refinery at Grangemouth by pipeline. The route is kept clear of trees.

Touch Muir The hills above Gargunnock have a stepped appearance. This is due to the basalt flows that make up the hill, each layer laid down in a flood of molten basalt from volcanic fissures. The process can be seen in action today in Iceland. The hillside is covered in bracken, an invasive weed, hard to remove and destroying a lot of the agricultural value of this fertile hillside.
