Balgay Hill & Mills Obs

Turn off Glamis Hill for parking just as the trees begin. Walk under the blue bridge and to the matching bandstand (the rear of it burnt down in 1993) where you turn left and begin your wind up the hill. At the top you’ll find a small car park and the Mills Observatory. It opens in early-evening when you can still get daylight views from the roof terrace out to the Tay. Exit the observatory the way you came, but take a left turn when you feel the gradient down is acceptable. Several options bring you back to the driveway that returns to the parking.
