    Angus, Scotland

    About

    From the car park at Invermark, follow the road over the bridge and past the church on the right. Take the next right signed for Mount Keen and the Queen's Well and just before the house bear left following another sign and go through a gate to follow a track. The track soon reaches an old metal gate, go through this and continue up the glen. A track joins in from the left, and after the route continues closer by the river. Eventually the granite arches of the Queen's Well come into view ahead. Branch off onto a narrower path on the right to reach the well.Turn left to rejoin the track, then turn right along it, passing to the left of Invermark Cottage. The Easter Burn is crossed - easy in dry conditions but after heavy rains things could become more difficult. Just beyond, the track next crosses the Ladder Burn via an iron grid.Continue along the rough track as it heads up the Ladder Glen; higher up it begins to climb away from the burn and a zig-zig leads up onto the moorlands above.. Continue the track and then the path which heads north up the moors. At a junction turn right on a well made path -. From here to the summit the path had become very eroded but it has been greatly repaired in recent years.There a couple of rockier sections before bouldery summit cone of Mount Keen is topped by a trig point at 939 metres. If returning to Glen Esk the usual way back is to retrace your steps
