Dumyat, by Stirling: B- circular walk, 8 miles

Why not blow the cobwebs away on this attractive forest and hill walk? Dumyat may be lower than the main Ochils range but it's a very enjoyable walk to the top which overlooks Stirling and the Central Belt; the views of the mountains of the Highland Line are inspiring.
