Parked at the church in Balquhidder, where there is room for several cars.

The path up Kirkton Glen can be reached from either side of the church.

Meall an t-Seallaidh from Kirkton Glen:


Meall an t-Seallaidh is surrounded by lots of trees.

Need to walk several kilometres up Kirkton Glen to skirt around them.

Top of Meall an t-Seallaidh from Kirkton Glen:


The ridge of this minor top looks a nice climb.

No idea if it has been climbed previously.

On reaching the end of the forest, I decided to extend the walk by ascending several tops en-route to Meall an t-Seallaidh including the 813m top and Cam Chreag.

On reaching the ridge, I saw what I think was a Kestrel.

I had to put on my fleece as I progressed along the ridge as it got quite cold.

I returned as per the route in the SMC Corbett guidebook. The hill is dog-friendly except for a single 3ft fence at the end of the forest in Kirkton Glen.
