Official information
Driesh is a popular Munro located in Angus, known for its steep ascent from Glen Doll. The summit offers a rounded peak with panoramic views, making it a favorite among hikers and climbers.
From the Wikipedia article
Driesh (Gaelic: Dris) is a mountain located in the Grampians of Scotland. Apart from Mount Keen (939 m/3,080 ft), it is the most easterly of the Munro peaks. Located several miles north of the town of Kirriemuir in Angus, the closeness of Driesh to the city of Dundee makes it a popular Munro with locals, in many ways making it the Dundonian equivalent to Ben Lomond near Glasgow.
