Tour Scotland video of a Winter drive on a narrow Scottish road on visit to the Sidlaw Hills above Carse of Gowrie, Perthshire. These are a range of hills of volcanic origin in the counties of Perthshire and Angus in Scotland that extend for 30 miles from Kinnoull Hill, near Perth, north east 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. 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.
