Ben Chonzie -source of our water supply

This is Ben Chonzie, the source of our water supply, which I photographed this afternoon from Stirling Castle.

Ben Chonzie is a solitary Munro at the head of Glen Turret.
It is a heather clad hill with moderate inclines leading to gentle grass slopes on the crests of the summit ridge.
As Munros goes this is reckoned to be an easy ascent.

The biggest problem with Ben Chonzie would be finding the summit but for the line of iron fence posts on the crest of the "L" shaped summit ridge, which lead you there.

The water from Ben Chonzie feeds into the two reservoirs of Glen Turret and Glen Lednock supplying Stirling and the Glen Turret whisky distillery.


It is also famous for its many mountain hares.
