The 9 Most Amazing Peaks around Inchture

The hilltop has become known as a suicide hotspot. In 2015, it was "highlighted as a national area of concern for completed suicides". In the same year, 20-year-old Forfar Athletic player Jack Syme committed suicide at Kinnoull Hill. In early January 2002, Daniela Smith, a 31-year-old mother of two, pushed her children off the hilltop while they were strapped into a pushchair before throwing herself. Their bodies were discovered on a ledge about 100 feet (30 m) below the summit on 15 January. The bodies of two men were found under the hill in 2014.

Kinnoull is a real jewel in Perth’s crown. Trails wander through mature beech and pine forests to stunning views of the River Tay. There is an arboretum – a collection of trees – too, where you can check out trees that you can grow in your own garden. The trails on Kinnoull Hill itself are great for family walks and picnics. If you’re looking for some mountain bike action, try the nearby Deuchny Hill Bike Park. Deuchny is also a top destination for horse riding and longer cycle routes: an ancient right of way called Coronation Road connects the forest with Scone. The name suggests it may have been used by ancient kings on their way to their coronations. Perth and Kinross Council manage Kinnoull in partnership with Forestry and Land Scotland. https://forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/kinnoull-hill

A great viewpoint over the City with views across to Fife and beyond. There are several paths to challenge yourself to walk to the top, otherwise space for a few cars to park at the top.

Also worth it because of the view over the city.

Excellent south-looking views over the River Tay with the Ochil Hills in the far distance.

In addition to the nearby information boards, there's lots of online information about the hill forts around here. Moredun Top hillfort has been subject to archaeological digs in recent years - reports available online.

This extinct volcano stands tall above Dundee City. The summit at 174m offers amazing views of the city and north into the highlands. Previously an iron age hill fort and Roman pottery has also been found here. Today there is a war memorial and mobile phone tower on top and several art installations along the paths and trails on its flanks. It can get busy here during the day in nice weather but it's always worth the ride, either as a destination itself or as part of a longer loop of the city.
