Sidlaws, Volcanic hill chain in Perthshire and Angus, Scotland
The Sidlaw Hills extend for 30 miles from Kinnoull Hill near Perth to Forfar, with Craigowl Hill reaching 455 meters in elevation.
The hills contain multiple ancient fortifications, including the strategic settlement on Auchterhouse Hill, which dates back to prehistoric times.
Dunsinane Hill gained recognition through its mention in William Shakespeare's play Macbeth as a central location in the dramatic narrative.
The hills feature numerous marked walking paths connecting Perth and Forfar, with dedicated parking areas at main access points.
The volcanic rocks of the Sidlaws contain gas bubble formations where mineral-rich agates developed over millions of years.
