Marilyn · perthshire
Newtyle Hill
Only 317m tall but with enough prominence to stand alone near the Highland gateway town of Pitlochry. This is the beauty of Marilyns — height is not everything when you have a genuine summit.

Standard route
Standard route
A short, accessible walk past farmsteads and over the open Perthshire hillside to the 317m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.
Terrain
Typical Highland Perthshire terrain — birch woodland below, heather and grass above. Some wet ground crossing burns.
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.
