Roy's Hill

Rising to 516 metres in the Moray uplands, this modest Dodd sits amid rolling farmland and forestry east of the Cairngorms. The hill offers a quiet ascent through varied terrain, with the summit providing a useful vantage point over the lower Spey basin and the broader outline of the Grampian massif beyond.

• •The name Roy's Hill is unusual among Scottish peaks for its plain English form, likely commemorating a local landowner or tenant farmer rather than deriving from Gaelic, which dominates the nomenclature of surrounding hills.
• •As a Dodd—a classification for hills between 500 and 599 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence—Roy's Hill represents a modest but distinct summit in an area where such defined peaks are relatively sparse among gentler farmland contours.
