Knockan Crag
Geological history lesson with splendid views
It’s hard to imagine getting better value from a short walk than from those at Knockan Crag. Here a trio of trails fan out to explore viewpoints with enormous payback in terms of mountain views for minimal effort
The longest trail takes about an hour to walk and is loose and steep in places, making hiking boots the best option.
To cap it all off, a small outdoor visitor centre – or “Rock Room” – informs of the area’s geology which stretches back for incomprehensible amounts of time: billions of years in many cases.
