Long Goat

Rising to 571 metres in the Angus Glens, this Dodd sits on the southern edge of the Grampian plateau between Glen Isla and Glen Prosen. The summit offers a commanding view across Strathmore to the Sidlaw Hills, with the higher Munros of the Mounth visible to the north and west across intervening moorland.

• •The name likely derives from the Scots 'lang gait', meaning 'long road' or 'long way', possibly referring to an old drove route or path that crossed the hill's flanks en route between the glens.
• •The summit sits at the meeting point of three estates, with boundary markers visible near the cairn marking historical land divisions dating back to the 18th century agricultural improvements.
• •Long Goat is often climbed alongside nearby Dodd hills in a single outing, forming part of a ridge walk that takes in several summits with minimal reascent between them.
