Corstorphine Hill is a wooded hill in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, rising to 162 m (531 ft) and offering views over the city and the Firth of Forth. The hill is covered with trees and paths, and at the top there is a stone tower that serves as a landmark.

The hill was once part of a large estate and has been used for grazing and recreation for centuries. In the 19th century, the Clermiston Tower was built as a folly, and later the area became a public park.

Local residents often walk their dogs here, and the hill is a popular spot for family outings. The stone tower at the summit, known as Clermiston Tower, was built in the 19th century and offers a focal point for visitors.

Wear sturdy shoes as some paths can be muddy, and bring a map or use a phone app to navigate the network of trails. The hill is accessible by bus from the city center, and the climb is moderate, taking about 30 minutes to reach the top.

The hill is home to a variety of wildlife, including foxes and deer, which can sometimes be seen early in the morning. The tower at the top was originally built as a lookout and now serves as a shelter for walkers.
