Driesh is an munro in Scotand and is located in the area Glen Shee to Mount Keen as defined by SMC (and lies in region known as Glen Clova )

Driesh is a munro in the Mounth plateau overlooking Glen Doll rising to a height of 947m (3107 feet).
The slopes of Driesh's southern side are moderate to gentle and blend into the rest of the surrounding landscape of undulating hills. However the northern-western & north-eastern corries and crags are most impressive rising above Glen Clova are without doubt the hills greatest feature.

Access is to Driesh summit is normally via a path from Shank of Drumfollow which connects to Mayar which is usually climbed as well. Alternatively access can be found on the northern ridge via The Scorrie which is also a fine ascent route.

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.
