"Hold onto your hat's Lasramblas is going to be a blustery day on top of the Hill's".
Loudoun Hill, is a cap of rock on
a lush green hillside. It is in reality a volcanic plug and is located in East
Ayrshire, most famous for the battle that was fought there. The way Loudoun
Hill is situated and the height it has, gives it a great tactical advantage
point. From the top of Loudoun Hill, one can see complete 360 degree views. And
this very reason is why the battle of Sir William Wallace against the English
took place. He defeated them successfully in the year 1296. On a sloped hillside
that sits aside Loudoun Hill is a monument that is dedicated to Wallace.
The hills height tops out at 1,036 feet

Our glorious leader shows the way on a tricky accent
Fantastic photographs! However, being located in Norfolk, we are a little confused: those sticky up bits - are they those hill things we've heard about?
