Overview

Great views south into the Forth/Clyde Valley and lots of hills to see (if the weather favours us). Tom Weir often walked these hills and, although later a Himalayan climber, he was keen that we should not forget the smaller hills closer to home. The route profile is commendably benign and basically once we are up, it is only slightly undulating. On the way to Cort ma Law we walk east and will have the escarpment on our right before pulling away to the summit. Thereafter we turn left, walk north to Lecket Hill and return west. Back in Linlithgow at 4pm
