Greenhags Hill is a prominent natural landmark located in Renfrewshire, Scotland. It is classified as a hill, rather than a mountain, but still offers breathtaking views and a challenging climb for outdoor enthusiasts.

Situated near the village of Lochwinnoch, Greenhags Hill stands at an elevation of approximately 279 meters (915 feet) above sea level. It is part of the larger Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park, which covers an extensive area of moorland, woodland, and hills in the west central Lowlands of Scotland.

The hill is characterized by its distinctive rounded shape and is covered in a mix of heather, grass, and scattered patches of woodland. The winding trails leading up Greenhags Hill are well-maintained, making it accessible to walkers, hikers, and mountain bikers.

One of the main attractions of Greenhags Hill is the stunning panoramic view it offers from its summit. On a clear day, visitors can enjoy sweeping vistas of the surrounding Renfrewshire countryside, with the sparkling waters of Castle Semple Loch visible in the distance. The hill also provides an excellent vantage point for observing local wildlife, including birds of prey like buzzards and kestrels.

Greenhags Hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a challenging yet rewarding experience. Its accessibility and natural beauty make it a must-visit location for those exploring Renfrewshire's scenic landscapes.
