Hill of Garbet

Rising to 581 metres in Angus, this grassy Dodd sits inland from the coastal lowlands near Montrose. The summit offers wide prospects across the eastern Highlands, with views extending to the Cairngorms on clear days. Typically climbed from nearby farm tracks, it sees relatively few visitors despite its accessible character.

• •The name derives from Scots 'garbet', likely referring to a rough or uneven piece of ground, reflecting the hill's position where farmland meets rougher upland terrain.
• •The summit lies close to the boundary between historical Angus and the former county of Kincardineshire, an administrative division that survived until local government reorganisation in 1975.
