King's Seat from Legertlaw.
 Northward view along the Sidlaws.

 The summit and silvery Tay.

 
 View of Dundee.  
 The summit, with a view towards Ben Lawers.  

  

The western of the two Sidlaw Marilyns and the parent hill to Shakespeare's Dunsinane. As well as Dunsinane itself, there are several other antiquities on the hill, including the summit cairn. Unlike its twin, Craigowl, this is very much a rural moorland hill, though it shares a view of Dundee.

An uncomplicated ascent from the West using a tractor track and paths through the heather. Views were very good of the Tay and the Mounth beyond Strathmore.


Neighbouring tops have some spectacular crags, basalt and useless for climbing, but King's Seat itself is easy moorland.
