Duncolm Summit

Recommended for

Hiking

by 14 explorers

To the north west of Glasgow lie the beautiful Kilpatrick Hills, a moorland range of volcanic origin, speckled with reservoirs. Duncolm is the largest, with a summit at 1,316 feet (401 m), and lies fairly centrally. One of Duncolm’s major draws is its feeling of wilderness, despite being so close to Scotland’s largest city. It’s fairly easy to access and the terrain can be boggy and steep at the summit, but still very achievable by most.
