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 positivestrimarc213/05/2018
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.thejackrustles08/02/2015
