A walk to Dumyat from Bridge of Allan Station

Dumyat (pronounced ‘Dum-eye-at’), is a popular hill due to its views over the Forth Valley and easy access from Stirling and Bridge of Allan. Dumyat sits at the western end of The Ochil Hills above Stirling.  The name Dumyat comes from dun (or fort) of the Myaetae, the fort of a Pictish tribe that once dominated the area. The remains of the hill fort are on Castle Law a few 100m west of the summit of Dumyat.

The Ochils and its pronunciation is given here.
