Castle Law & Dumyat

Sun splitting the sky and it was the kind of day I couldn't stay in the house so after lunch I took a quick run to Bridge of Allan with the intention of climbing Castle Law and Dumyat. In all the times I have climbed Dumyat I have always kept to the path and never deviated to go up the smaller hill of Castle Law so didn't really know where it was. Initially I climbed the small hill which is on the Dumyat path from the university and this picture of Wallace Monument was taken from it                        

Continued up the path to Dumyat and at the top met an old worthy sitting in the shade who had already climbed all the Ochil hills. Because the weather was so clear he named the hills we could see including ( from left to right as I looked) Ben Lomond , The Cobbler , Ben Ledi , Ben Lawyers , Stuc a croine. I have climbed all of these hills but hadn't realised you could see them all from the top of Dumyat. The photo is not very clear and the hills actually look like clouds

At the top of Dumyat I got a clear picture of Castle Law and realised I had not actually climbed it so I headed over and did it on the way home.
