There are 60 hills in the Ochils over 300 metres high (984 feet) with a drop all round of at least 30 metres. The hills are divided into three groups: west of the A832 through Glen Eagles and Glen Devon (containing the highest summits), east of the B934 from Dunning to Yetts o’Muckhart, and the northern group wedged centrally between these two roads.
