Two of the forestry dominated
hills above Glen Isla. Crock has a bad reputation for inaccessability,
but a ride up the north ridge gets to the moorland summit without
difficulty. Any other route, you are on your own, but the forest
is always changing, and felled areas can appear over night given
modern forestry technology.
Hare Cairn is friendlier with
more open woodland. Like Crock, the summit is clear of the trees
and is still moorland. The two are easily linked by a road running
down to Glenmarkie Lodge. There is accommodation available at
the nearby farm which operates as a B&B.
