Tips

Rising steeply from Alyth to 300 meters, the Hill of Alyth offers stunning views of Strathmore, the Sidlaw Hills, and the Cairngorm Mountains. At the summit, a Triangulation Point and commemorative pillar highlight the hill's connection to Alyth's commonty, a shared land used by parish inhabitants. Geologically, the hill is significant, formed from sedimentary and volcanic rocks shaped by glacial activity. The area also features healing wells, believed to have curative powers since pre-Christian times, and remains a symbol of community land rights, with a notable history of local disputes, including the 1948 reclamation of the hill by residents.

The Hill of Alyth affords wonderful views over the farmlands of Strathmore, the Sidlaw hills, and into the southern Cairngorms. On the summit, you find a tiny lochan and an indicator that explains the view.

Trig point and viewing compass. An undulating hilltop crisscrossed with paths - a sense of what's around the next corner. Very scenic 360-degree panoramic views. A small hill well worth the hike up.
