Classifications
Did You Know?
- •The name 'Hill Park' is unusual for Scotland, reflecting the anglicised naming conventions applied to some estates in the central belt rather than the Gaelic origins typical of more remote Scottish hills.
- •As a subsidiary 'South Top', this summit lies marginally lower than its parent Hill of Tarvit or nearby main summit, making it one of those extra points walkers debate whether to include when traversing the ridge.
- •The Ochil Hills were formed from volcanic activity around 400 million years ago during the Devonian period, with their distinctive steep southern scarp and gentler northern dip reflecting the underlying volcanic rock structure.
