Campie Hills

First snowfall of the winter north of Glasgow, looking over Mains Woods. 
Picture lower right: Close-up of Dumgoyne - one of those rugged little volcanic hills so common in Central Scotland. It sits at the edge of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. While the walk to its summit is only 2.5 miles, the slopes of Dumgoyne are very steep. The walk starts on the A81 between Strathblane and Gartness just across from Glengoyne Distillery. However, when snow is lying it requires an ice-axe, crampons, knowledge, experience and skill. Fantastic views of the surrounding countryside on the way. For more detailed information - http://www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/things-to-do/walking/hillwalking/dumgoyne-hill/
