Dumgoyne

Dumgoyne is a hill prominent on the edge of the Campsies, and is a well-known landmark visible from Glasgow. It is a volcanic plug. The plug is readily reached from a path beside Glengoyne Distillery or via a water-board track from the villages of Strathblane and Blanefield, 3 miles (5 kilometres) to the east or Killearn to the west.  It makes a pleasant afternoon's climb, although it is very steep.


Took this from the village of Strathblane, a pretty village sitting below the Campsies.  It has been a cold day, but not as cold as yesterday, and on this side of the city there is no snow.  In EK we still have icy pavements though and a bit of snow still hanging around.


Off out for dinner tonight in the village, using a voucher we were given on our birthdays.  All good.  (Will add extra's of meal if I remember)
