Colonel Hunter Blair Monument

Highlight • Monument

A hard walk up but fantastic views from the monument.

Tip by

3.72 km

Mainly built in the 18th century, albeit with a few more modern additions, Straiton retains its 1700s charm.

Interestingly the main location for the film 'The Match', where two rival pubs played against each other in a football match.

So at least you know you'll be able to get a pint if you stop off mid ride!
