Sean what's happening weather wise
"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
