The Sidlaw Hills in Scotland: walk around Scotland

in #landscapephotography6 years ago (edited)

The Sidlaws are a range of hills of volcanic origin in the counties of Perthshire and Angus in Scotland that extend for 30 miles from Kinnoull Hill, near Perth, northeast to Forfar.

Principal peaks within the Sidlaws include Craigowl Hill, Ark Hill, and King's Seat.

Although not in these photos, Shakespear's Dunsinane Hill, from Macbeth is a part of the Sidlaw range.

The highest of the Sidlaws is Craigowl Hill, to the north of Dundee. Adjacent to Craigowl Hill is Gallow Hill, on the side of which is located the Angus transmitting station, which provides television and radio services to the region.... And is also used for military services ;) ;) ;).

So basically, the Sidlaws are the pretty hills behind of Dundee. Sadly, like many parts of Scotland, there's not much tourist stuff to do or tourist trails there. If you're in the region, then I recommend that you go for a walk up there with some friends. Buses leave from the city center of Dundee and run every hour or so.

Craigowl Hill, apparently used by NATO er...um... just for TV transmissions. :P

Very beautiful view

Thank you @minpine,
I can take more pictures of the local scenery if you'd like me to do so. Here's a picture of a 25+ mile walk that I did across the Sidlaws.
