Tips

Legend has it that the triumvirate of peaks that form the Eildon Hills were split asunder by a wizard named Michael Scot with the assistance of an idle devilish spirit.

The true origin of these charismatic mini-mountains has more to do with geological wizardry. The Eildon Hills' foundations are the eroded remnants of a suite of igneous trachytic and rhyolitic sills. In other words, places where magma worked its way between sedimentary layers and solidified some 350 million years ago.

Eildon Mid Hill is the summit of the massif, standing proud at 1,385 feet (422 m) and rewarding your efforts with sumptuous views of the surrounding countryside.
