Driesh
Driesh is a mountain located in the Grampians of Scotland. Apart from Mount Keen, 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.Photo: Richard Webb, CC BY-SA 2.0.
