Black Binks

Rising to 504 metres in the Angus Glens, this Dodd-classified summit sits amid gently rolling moorland north of Glen Isla. The ascent crosses heather and grass terrain typical of the eastern Grampians, with the summit offering views across neighbouring rounded hills. A quiet hill that sees relatively few visitors despite its accessibility.

• •The name 'Black Binks' combines a colour reference with 'binks', a Scots word for a bank or ledge, likely describing a dark ridge or shelf feature on the hillside.
• •The summit lies in the transition zone between the higher Grampian peaks to the west and the gentler farmland of Strathmore to the east, giving it a distinctive character that blends both landscapes.
• •At 504 metres, Black Binks falls just short of the 2,000-foot contour that would elevate it to more popular classifications, ensuring it remains one of the quieter summits in this corner of Angus.
