Menstrie Glen
Menstrie Glen is the glen which separates Dumyat from Myreton Hill and the main body of the Ochil Hills in Scotland. Once farmed but no longer inhabited, it is now used for sheep pasture, a public water supply and recreation in the form of fishing and walking.
Myreton Hill
Myreton Hill is the hill immediately behind (to the North East of) the village of Menstrie in the Ochil Hills of Scotland. See the map for location. The track up the scarp face of Myreton Hill leads to some calcite workings which date from the Napoleonic Wars. Today it is used by the farmer to access his livestock, and also forms the beginning of a useful walking route giving access to the main part of the Ochil Hills.
