## Geography

[edit]

The hill is 522 metres (1,713 feet) high and is the highest point of the relatively low-lying county of Renfrewshire and indeed the entire Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park of which it is a part, having a considerable topographic isolation.

## History

[edit]

Around the hill in the past several planes crashed due to bad weather conditions;[2] among them in 1938 is recorded a crash of a Spartan Cruiser and in 1947 of a Seafire.[3]
