Tolmount Terrain Block
Tolmount is a remote corner of the Glenshee hills, bordering Glen Doll. It is a steep-sided blunt cone. The 'Valley of the Hill' name refers to the ancient route of Jock's Road which passes nearby. It feels wild and isolated. The summit provides a fine view down into the dark cleft of Glen Doll, a dramatic contrast to the rolling moorland of the start.
