Dumgoyne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dumgoyne is a hill prominent on the edge of the Campsie Fells and is a well known landmark visible from Glasgow. It is a volcanic plug and is 427 m high (1,402 feet). The plug is readily reached from a path beside Glengoyne Distillery or via a water-board track from the village of Strathblane three miles to the east.
From Strathblane, the path begins at the entrance to a private road. Here the car can be parked by the roadside, and the walk begins by following this private road for approximately two miles. After passing several gates on the way, turn to the right where theres another gate. Follow this path up and around the side Dumfoyn, and from here the path steepens, as it goes up Dumgoyne. The summit is marked by a small standing stone.
