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
