Glen Tanar Circuit from Etnach

About trip

There is a car park at the end of the public road at Glen Tanar. From here turn right (signed as a right of way to Glen Esk by the Mounth), heading past some attractive turreted cottages. The track then bends left past the houses and continues to a junction. Turn left here to head behind the sawmill, and then turn right at the next wooden cottage to join the original 'Mounth' road. The track now heads into the pinewoods. At one point is passes an old stone shed which is falling into disrepair. Continue to follow the track up the glen, passing but not crossing a stone bridge over the Tanar at NO461941. Continue along the main track; over to the left the river flows over some huge stone slabs. Cross a small stone bridge over the Burn of Glendui to reach the wooden 'Half-way hut', an open shelter which is useful if the rain is coming down.
