Dry and grey walk up the wind farm track to bag Knockan then across the minor road to bag Hill of Towie, a P52 Tump and trig. | Dugswell2 | 11/06/2018 |
After Knockan. Reached area by train from Dufftown and a walk up road. Nice trig point but the wind farm and weather did not allow for many other positives | trimarc2 | 13/05/2018 |
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: 
 
Really surprised it's been nearly ten years since this one has been visited and a how much has changed since the last visit. Both sides of the hillside on either side of the road are now covered in wind turbines, the plus point being a very easy track to Turbine 21 and then 200m across the heather for an easy bag. | thejackrustles | 08/02/2015 |
