Just south of Linlithgow in West Lothian, Cockleroy rises alone above the undulating farmland. This marvellous little hill tops out at 912 feet (278 m) and its position allows disproportionately good views from its modest summit. Also known as Cockleroi, it has a fantastically craggy western flank and a much gentler eastern slope which is, unsurprisingly, a preferred ascent route.

Cockleroy Hill at 278m has a trig point and stunning 360-degree views. I's a standalone high point to the west of Beecraigs country park and an ascent can be added to a loop of that area. This was historically a hill fort and when you're there it's obvious why the location was chosen.
