Ark Hill

Ark Hill is a summit in the Sidlaw Hills, a ridge of rounded peaks stretching across central Scotland. The hilltop sits above surrounding terrain and offers views across farmland and neighboring slopes.

Carved stones from Pictish times remain near the summit, indicating early human settlement in this region. These artifacts show that the area held significance for ancient peoples long before modern times.

The mountain forms part of the Sidlaws range, extending from Perth to Montrose, representing a significant geographical formation in the Scottish landscape.

The hill is reached by walking paths that are marked on local maps and easy to follow. Weather on the slopes can change quickly, so bring proper clothing and take care on steep sections.

The summit sits among rolling hills that look different depending on where you approach from, with nearby peaks creating layered views across the landscape. Walking around the base reveals how the terrain changes subtle contours at every turn.
