Mountain Description

Not support tag.
Mount Keen 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 Esk )

Mount Keen is the most easterly munro and is relatively isolated standing on it's own at the head of Glen Mark. The summit has a shapely coned top with broad grassy ridges south from Glen Mark, north from Glen Tanar, and east to Braid Cairn.

By those content to simply add Mount Keen to their list of 3000ft plus peaks it's best to take a bike as there are good tracks from both north and south to cover distance faster.

On a good day, there are excellent views of the Cairngorms to the north east, especially The Lochnagar Hills which can be seen on the east.
