Re: From Glen Clova to Montrose

I thought as much, an easy one to remember 🙂

Re: From Glen Clova to Montrose

Hi William,
I looked at your suggestion, and a route from Rottal to Glen Lethnot looks doable, and then on between the two forts on to Edzell or Brechin (I would like to see that statue in Brechin...).

It would be a lot more ascent then what I had planned but it would add another day in the hills. I'll let it simmer for a couple of days. Thanks again to all!

Re: From Glen Clova to Montrose

If you are interested in that sort of thing, it would be a detour but, apart from the Wellington crash site at the head of the glen there are also a couple of sites on Hill of Warren. A Consolidated Liberator and a Bristol Beaufort came down within a km of each other in different incidents.

The path up from Wheen near Rottal to Ben Tirran and The Goet isn't overly steep and is very panoramic. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6811437 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/18410

Once you are on the Goet there is a stile in the deer fence near the trig point which allows you onto the plateau.https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2885242

I'm quite a WW II and Aviation nerd, I'm sure to visit the statue, thank you!
