Nettle and I needed a short leg stretch today, so headed for the Culter Hills taking in Chapelgill Hill, Birnie’s Bowrock, Cardon Hill, Culter Fell and Congrie Hill from Glenkirk. Some steep ascent, but generally a pleasant rolling circuit on short grass and heather.

It started out dry, but there were heavy showers blending together later on a fresh south-easterly wind. These hills give great views particularly towards Tinto and The Pentlands.
