Campsie Fells

The Campsie Fells (also known as the Campsies; Scottish Gaelic: Monadh Chamaisidh) are a range of hills in central Scotland, stretching east to west from Denny Muir to Dumgoyne in Stirlingshire and overlooking Strathkelvin to the south.

The range overlooks the villages of Strathblane, Blanefield, Milton of Campsie, Lennoxtown and Torrance to the south; Killearn to the west, and Fintry and Strathendrick to the north.

[1] Earl's Seat is the highest point of the Campsie Fells, measuring 578 m (1,896 ft).

[3] Two main ways of climbing Earl's Seat are by going past Dumgoyne from the Glengoyne Distillery[3] or going up the Fin Glen from Clachan of Campsie.

"Fell" originates from the Old Norse word fjall, meaning "hill".
