Hiking

At 1,217 feet (371 m), Wester Hill is the smallest of the three peaks that make up the Eildon Hills. However, it's definitely worth the trek for the views back towards lofty Mid Hill and North Hill, which was once the site of one of the largest hillforts in Scotland. Late summer, when the heather is at its most vibrant, is a glorious time to explore these hills.

Running

The most western and the lowest of the three Eildon Hills this is also the furthest from Melrose which is the normal starting point for this run. The Wester Hill stands at 371m and like the other two summits you still get great views.
