About Driesh

For the locals of Dundee, Driesh stands out as one of the most familiar and frequently ascended Munros. This mountain ascends sharply from Glen Doll, situated in the upper reaches of Glen Clova. However, once you reach the summit, you'll find that the terrain becomes more rounded and less imposing, offering a gentler landscape compared to its steep approach.
