About Angus Glens Munros
The Angus Glens cut deep into the southeastern Highlands, carving a series of quiet valleys between Kirriemuir and the Cairngorm plateau. These are gentle, rolling mountains compared to the rugged west — broad summits connected by high ridges, often walked in pairs or groups across grassy terrain.
Glen Clova, Glen Prosen, and Glen Isla provide the main access routes, each offering straightforward ascents with good paths. The area is particularly rewarding in late summer when the heather blooms purple across the hillsides, and in winter when the high plateaux carry a dusting of snow that makes navigation more demanding than the terrain might suggest.
Highlights: Driesh and Mayar make an excellent paired walk from Glen Clova. The Mounth plateau carries several summits that can be linked in a long day.
