| From
Kirriemuir, the B955 road takes you through
open farming country. At Dykehead, turn left
for Glen Prosen; or alternatively, carry straight
on for Glen Clova and Glen Doll.
The glens' upper road forms
a loop: So you can admire the view from
one side of the valley and return by the
other side of the river.
Glen Doll lies at the head
of Glen Clova - take the narrow road adjacent
to the Clova Hotel, which will lead you
into the heart of the mountains. The end
of the glens is dominated by the Cairngorms.
On your return southwards,
take a few minutes to divert to Cortachy,
just past Dykehead. Although just off the
well-trodden path, Cortachy has some real
gems, including a fine castle. Unfortunately
the castle is not open to the public, but
can be seen from the road leading to Memus.
