Drummond Hill
A 460m hill in Glen Lyon, Scotland's longest enclosed glen with at least 150m of prominence — enough to feel like a real summit rather than a shoulder. The modest height belies the quality of the walking.

Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent through birch woodland and heather moorland typical of Highland Perthshire to the 460m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 hours.
Terrain
Well-drained Perthshire hills with a mix of heather, blaeberry and grass. Generally good underfoot with rocky outcrops near the summit.
In winter
Winter walking is comfortable with standard gear. Snow rarely persists below 600m. The well-drained terrain means less ice than wetter western hills.
