About Mount Keen

Mount Keen holds the distinction of being the easternmost Munro, characterized by its distinctive cone-shaped peak that rises prominently above the expansive Mounth plateau. This mountain offers a relatively swift ascent if approached from Glen Esk, but for those seeking a more picturesque route, the journey through Glen Tanar provides a scenic alternative. Whether you choose the direct path or the more leisurely scenic route, Mount Keen promises a rewarding experience with its unique position and striking form.
