📌 Edderton, Highland
★★★
Struie Hill overlooks the slender Dornoch Firth, with superb views up and down the estuary from the transmitter mast on the windswept summit. With a track to the very top, it’s also eminently accessible. A burn on the side of the hill provides the water source for nearby Balblair Distillery.
