Meandering grassy track from Bulg. Returned same way.NormanW06/07/2023
From the Glen Lethnot road by Auchowrie, cutting up a grassy slope to join the zigzag track up East Craig beyond the farm, keeping just below the shoulder of Hill of Wirren to outflank its peat hag embankment, then taking ridge top tracks to Craigangower and a steep up and down through heather to Bulg. Back the same way, taking the westerly track to the top of East Craig. The best of walk was after Hill of Wirren: a fine ridge walk with a cloud inversion lapping its eastern side and a remote and distinct hill topped with the remains of a large ancient cairn at Bulg.Nick Down114/01/2022
13 mile circular from minor road north of Dalbog. Followed track through woods near river then ascended track to Shanno Castle from the north (Not marked on map). From here there are plenty of grouse shooting tracks taking you up to the Red Craig ridge and onto Bulg. Then pathless steep terrain onto Craigangower and a good track over Hill of Wirren across dry bogs to summit then along ridge via East Wirren trig to The Crannel. We descended back to car. Nobody else about. High cloud with good views south. 859m ascent altogether.DanTrig12/09/2021
Agree with summitter. What the Hell's the point in having so many tracks? What did they do before?Wycombe Wanderer31/12/2018
After Bulg, followed fence over intervening dip.Lindsay M11/02/2018
Is it really necessary to construct quite so many tracks to pander to the idle rich grouse murderers. Disfiguring scars across the countenance of a once lovely Glen Esk.summitter01/01/2000
