- Sidlaws abstract "The Sidlaws (Scottish Gaelic: Na Sidhbheanntan [1]) are a range of hills of volcanic origin in the counties of Perthshire and Angus in Scotland that extend for 30 miles (45 km) from Kinnoull Hill, near Perth, northeast to Forfar. Law is a Lowland Scots word of Old English origin meaning a hill which rises sharply from the surrounding land. The element 'sid' probably derives from the Scottish Gaelic sidhe, meaning 'fairy' or 'sacred', referring to the prehistoric cairns still visible on various of the hills (claimed in folklore as the habitations of supernatural beings) and bheanntan, 'peaks'.Principal peaks within the Sidlaws include Ark Hill and King's Seat. Points of interest include Dunsinane Hill, mentioned in Shakespeare's play Macbeth, and Auchterhouse Hill, which was the site of an ancient hill fort. The ruined observatory on Kinpurnie Hill was built by James Stuart-Mackenzie who owned the Kinpurnie estate and can be seen for many miles on the Strathmore side of the Sidlaws.The highest of the Sidlaws is Craigowl Hill. Adjacent to Craigowl Hill is Gallow Hill, on the side of which is located the Angus transmitting station, which provides television and radio services to the region.Nearby historical features to the north include Glamis Castle and the Eassie Stone, a carved Pictish cross slab-stone (now situated in a ruined church in the village of Eassie).Sidlaw Hills is also the name of a Schottische marching tune composed for the fiddle by Jim Watson of Blairgowrie (1868 - 1931)Beautifully coloured agates, which formed over millions of years in cavities (originally gas bubbles) in the volcanic lava which formed the hills, are occasionally to be found weathered out of the rock in the surrounding fields.".
