About Dron Hill
The climb up Dron Hill takes you past open moorland and craggy outcrops that offer proper views across the Tay Valley once you've done the legwork. It's not a brutal slog - most people manage the ascent in under an hour from the base - but it's steep enough that you'll feel you've earned the summit.
What strikes you first is how exposed the top is. There's no shelter, just windswept grassy slopes and the kind of view that stretches all the way to the Sidlaws on a clear day. On a misty morning, mind you, you might as well be on the moon. The paths are reasonably well-trodden but can get boggy after rain, so decent boots are non-negotiable.
Walkers will get the most from this - it's proper hill-walking territory without the commitment of a full Cairngorms expedition. History types might appreciate that you're looking out over land that's been fought over for centuries, though there's not much to see by way of structures up here. It's not the sort of place young kids will enjoy lingering on unless they're keen on scrambling about rocks.
Free to visit, naturally. Allow two to three hours including a breather at the top. If you're staying at Maycroft Retreat near Perth - only 3.7 miles away - this makes a cracking morning out before heading back for lunch. The drive from town takes minutes.
