Hill walk in the Ochils from Tillicoultry. The last of my pics from Sinday, and after a steep walk we made it to the summit of Ben Cluech on the Ochils.The Ochils are the hills extending from Stirling in the west to the M90 south of Perth in the east. They are seen most strikingly from Stirling and my home Falkirk, they’re a fine ridge of hills above a south-facing escarpment, reaching a maximum height of 721m or 2,364ft at the summit of Ben Cleuch.Ben Cleuch can be climbed from either Alva or Tillicoultry. The route described here begins in the car park of the Ochil Hills Woodland Park, which is reached from the A91 immediately to the east of Alva. The route we took was lovely, but tiring if you are unfit, which I am! My friend Mark has pencilled in another trip up, but by an easier route next time! -- source link
