Glen Moy is one of the lesser known Angus Glens located north of Kirriemuir. I left my vehicle beside the ruins of Bogside Farm and walked up the road towards Craigton Croft then north along a forest track which later became overgrown. On reaching a deer fence I followed it east crossing a well used forest track. Higher up, at a turning point in the fence, I continued east through well spaced trees and some windblown timber to reach another deer fence topped with barbed wire and a broken electric fence. I located a spot where I slid underneath the fence to visit the two high points of the Tump, Benscarvie.
A descent between the mature trees and those that had been harvested, slightly north of the upward route, took me back to the well used forest track. This was followed south then I briefly walked east along a lesser used track before leaving it, crossing some wet ground and ascending the Tump, Auld Man. This entailed passing through some closely grown firs to reach a small cairn. From there I headed back out of the trees then descended south towards Craigton Croft and the start.
Staying north of Kirriemuir I moved my car to the minor road east of Crossacks Farm then walked north up the track which gradually deteriorated and led to a gate. Beyond, the track improved as it swung east towards a quarry. I then headed for a ruin followed by a short steep climb to the edge of a new small enclosure surrounded by electric fences. I then entered a wood where the trees were well spaced to reach the small cairn marking the summit of the Tump, Knock Hill.
