About Innerdouny Hill
Rising above the eastern fringes of the Ochils near Kinross, this quiet Marilyn is defined by its extensive forestry plantations. While much of the ascent follows sheltered timber tracks, the summit area breaks clear, offering an unencumbered view south towards the Cleish Hills and the twin peaks of the Lomond Hills.

- •The name likely derives from the Gaelic Inbhir, meaning 'confluence' or 'mouth of', and Dunaidh, possibly referring to a local stream or fort, suggesting the hill was a landmark for those navigating the glens below.
- •Although overshadowed by the 700-metre peaks to the west, it is the second highest Marilyn in the Ochils; its 240 metres of prominence ensures it stands as a significant individual landmass despite its modest elevation.
- •Most walkers approach from the Forestry and Land Scotland car park at Littlerig, following well-graded tracks through the dense Glen Devon Woodlands.
- •The summit offers a commanding view over the reservoirs of Lower and Upper Glendevon, which provide a sharp, blue contrast to the surrounding heather and conifer.
- •The ascent is a hill of two halves: a sheltered, steady march through the timber blocks followed by a summit so exposed it feels like the wind is trying to blow you straight into the Firth of Forth.
