Gargunnock Hills, Hill chain in Stirling, Scotland.

The Gargunnock Hills form an extended chain with steep northern slopes and reach their highest point at Carleatheran, measuring 485 meters in elevation.

The hills contain volcanic rocks from the Carboniferous period, forming resistant basaltic formations that have shaped the current landscape through natural erosion.

The surrounding villages of Gargunnock and Kippen maintain traditions connected to the hills through agricultural practices and community gatherings.

Multiple walking paths traverse the hills, connecting various water features including Earlsburn Reservoir, Mary Glyn's Burn, and the notable Downie's Loup waterfall.

The northern boundary presents a natural escarpment rising 300 meters above the River Forth glen, creating a marked geographical border in the region.
