Knockan summit, Ben Aigan in the background.

 


Ascent through the forest.
 The unmarked ride that gets you through the dense stuff.

 
 Ben Aigan from Knockan.

 
   
  

A hill with a bad reputation, but actually gives an easy ascent from the new house at NJ339490. Around NJ345475 there is a gap between two road ends shown on the 1:50000 map. This is bridged by a path through new plantations. Halfway along, another ride heads uphill to the upper road emerging by a pond (shown on the 1:25000 map). This is used by horse riders so should stay open. Its a short tussock bash from the upper road to the summit.

The summit seems unmarked, but there is a cairn nearby. Otver the flat heather you can see a good array of Northeastern hills, and up the Spey.
