About Doune Hill
Doune Hill is the highest point of the Luss Hills, a southern outlier of the Grampians, and stands near Luss in Argyll and Bute west of Loch Lomond, on the edge of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
Its long grassy ridge has made it a well-used objective among hillwalkers, and at 734.5 m it is a Graham and a Marilyn.
