Pronunciation = klˠ̪as̪ mɯːlˠ̪Glas Maol is the highest point in the
Mounth hills, in the southeastern part of the Highlands ofScotland . The broad, flat summit is divided between the council area ofAberdeenshire ,Angus andPerth and Kinross , though the highest point lies wholly within Angus; indeed Glas Maol is the highest point in that council area.The western slopes of Glas Maol form part of the
Glenshee Ski Centre ski area. The most common route of ascent goes through the slopes, starting from the highest point of theA93 road , the Cairnwell pass. This is the highest public road in Scotland; hence only around 400 m of ascent is involved.Glas Maol is often climbed in conjunction with
Creag Leacach to the south orCairn of Claise to the north. The broad ridge linking these peaks is topped by aDry-stone dyke , which approximately corresponds to the border of the Angus council area.
