Glas Tulaichean, the green hill, is a 3,449 feet, 1,051 metre high mountain in north-east Perthshire in the Scottish highlands. The mountain is the highest point between the massif of Beinn a'Ghlo to the west and Glen Shee to the east. It is characterised by Glas Choire Mhòr, the big green corrie, which cuts into the eastern side of the mountain right up to the summit. The summit itself is a plateau topped by a triangulation pillar at the meeting of three extending ridges to the south, south-east and north-east. The pillar lies only yards from the top of the corrie wall to the east.
STEEPNESS: Moderate steepness up the south ridge.
TERRAIN: One of the few Munros in Scotland with a track all the way to the summit.
ACCESSIBILITY: Six miles from the Spittal of Glenshee to the south-east which is the usual route along the roads and track. There is a parking area at the beginning of the road to the Dalmunzie Hotel. There is a charge for parking at the hotel which cuts a mile off the journey. A longer route heads up Gleann Taitneach from the Spittal, east of the mountain, before heading up the north-east ridge.
NAVIGATION: The track up the south ridge makes this one of the easier mountains in mist. From Dalmunzie the track, or line of an old railway to the north, heads north-west through Glen Lochsie to the remnants of the old lodge. From here continue on the track north-westwards, then north up the pronounced south ridge to the high point. The track then heads east for a short distance straight to the summit.
DANGER: None if keeping to the track.
