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.
