Dumglow Via Dumifarline And The Inneans

Start : End of the forest track at grid ref NT 093 971 on the Cleish road. There is space for a couple of cars in laybys or on the verge at this point.

(S)From the parking area walk back up the road round the corner to reach a gate on your right hand side on to the hill. A feint grass path can be followed up the hillside to cross a wall and reach the base of the obvious craggy Dummifarline hill fort summit.

(1) If you wish you can include the summit and return to the path to follow it south-ish towards the lumpy Inneans.

The northern Innean is the most awkward as it requires crossing a barbed wire fence and a steep ascent up its southeastern slope to reach its tree-clad summit.

(2) As the first summit, you can include the Middle and the South Inneans to your walk. The middle and southern Inneans are both grassy lumps which although steep are small and present no difficulties. Include as many or as few as the Inneans as you wish or stick to the paths which circle the middle Innean if you wish to avoid them.

At Grid ref. NT 087 963 a stile (might be a gate now) crosses the fence to the west of the middle and southern Inneans. From this point it is a straightforward (though sometimes wet and muddy in places) walk on a path alongside felled forestry to reach the clearing where you join the direct route.

Keep straight on up the firebreak path to reach the open hillside and another stile. Once over the stile an obvious grass path leads to the summit. (E)
