About Milldewan Hill
Situated in the Kilsyth Hills overlooking the Carron Valley Reservoir, this 503-metre summit offers a quiet alternative to its more popular neighbours. The terrain is typical of the region: a mix of rough moorland and tufted grass, requiring a bit of persistence through occasionally boggy ground to reach the top.

Did You Know?
- •The name likely stems from the Gaelic 'Meall', meaning a rounded hill, a descriptor for its broad profile within the wider Campsie Fells area.
- •From the summit, you get a clear, unobstructed look down at the Carron Valley Reservoir and across the water to the dark, plantation-covered slopes of Meikle Bin.
- •The hill sits on the northern edge of the Kilsyth Hills, where the high plateau begins to drop away towards the village of Fintry and the Endrick Water valley.
- •It is an excellent destination for those who feel that well-maintained footpaths are a modern luxury that detracts from the traditional Scottish experience of damp socks.
