Tillicoultry and Alva glens

Today we went to Tillicoultry in the foothills of the Ochils. On the drive we managed to avoid the worst of the traffic for the Highland Show.

Got to Tillicoultry to find the path by the stream was closed due to rockfalls, so there was an alternative path up the hill. This was pretty steep and hard going, and looked like it was going to be relentless all the way to the top of Ben Cleugh, so since we had come out for a stroll by the river and not a hill-walk we gave up.


We drove a few miles further on to Alva, which has its own walk through a glen by the stream, so this was more like what we'd come out for.


The weather stayed kind to us, we saw a few showers circling around but they kept clear, we actually got quite a bit of sunshine.
