A mountain located on the border of Angus and Perth & Kinross Council areas, Mount Blair lies to the east of Glen Shee and one mile (two km) south-west of Forter.\u00a0 It rises to a height of 744m (2,440 feet) and the peak separates Glen Shee from Glen Isla to the east.<\/p>\n

Although of small stature at 744m, Mount Blair commands great views, northwards to the higher hills of the Cairngorm National Park and southwards over the green lands of the lowlands.<\/p>\n

Standing boldly between these two glens, the hill is heathery with some rough and crag grit covering the\u00a0lower slopes. Mount Blair has a long history with prehistoric sites, with some famous wells and even a suicide grave to be found under the summit cairn.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the wonderful 360 degree views from the summit, where you\u2019ll find a toposcope to help you identify major landmarks and surrounding hills.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0location of the pin on Google Maps is a guide
