The Sidlaw Hills on the border of Angus and Perthshire

Sidlaw Hills The Sidlaw Hills are a range of hills of volcanic origin in two counties – Perthshire and Angus – that extend for 30 miles from Kinnoull Hill, near Perth, northeast to Forfar. The highest of the Sidlaws is Craigowl Hill. Other principal peaks within the Sidlaws include Ark Hill and King's Seat.

Dunsinane Hill, famed in Shakespeare's Macbeth, is here while Glamis Castle stands nearby. (Read more)
