Garleton Hills

Garleton Hills and Hopetoun Monument

The Garleton Hills, in East Lothian, Scotland, are a range of igneous hills, to the north of Haddington, formed largely from Carboniferous tuffs and trachytic lavas. Although the highest point is only 590 feet (180 m), the hills are conspicuous throughout the county. The western spur is crowned by the Hopetoun Monument to John, 4th Earl of Hopetoun, who commanded the British Army in the Peninsular War, after the death of Sir John Moore at Corunna. The hills are located at grid reference NT500760.

The hills are a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Barnes Castle is built on south, while Garleton Castle is on the north slopes.
