Knockmountain map
Knockmountain
Information
The majority of the area on the Knockmountain map is owned and managed by Forestry and Land Scotland with the section closest to Kilmacolm in community ownership. It contains areas of productive plantation that are currently (2025) too dense for running but are likely to become runnable in the near future. This is interspersed by more open hillsides with gorse bushes as well as old growth forest, with a fair amount of contour detail and many boulders, crags, and rocky outcrops. Unlike many such areas in Scotland, Knockmountain has very little in the way of bracken (except at the far northwestern end) and instead the open areas are covered in rye grass and wild flowers attracting a host of insects (some of the bitey kind...).
