A walk to the highest point in the Kilpatrick Hills visiting a dramatic geological feature en-route.
From Queen’s View car park, we follow the hill path to the Whangie and onwards to Burncrooks Reservoir. We then take the track around the north and west of the reservoir, cross the dam and join a hill path to Lily Loch and Duncolm. Our return is by similar route but we take the path round the south and east of the Burncrooks Reservoir.
