Glas Maol (Scottish Gaelic:A' Ghlas-Mheall)[2] is a mountain in theMounth, in the southeastern part of theHighlands ofScotland. The broad, flat summit is divided between thecouncil 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. Glas Maol is both aMunro and aMarilyn. The western slopes of Glas Maol form part of theGlenshee Ski Centreski area. The most common route of ascent goes through the slopes, starting from the highest point of theA93 road, the Cairnwellpass. This is the highest public road in Scotland; hence only around 400 m of ascent is involved. Glas Maol is often climbed in conjunction withCreag 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.
