Crailzie Hill is a prominent hill located in Peeblesshire, a historic county in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland. Rising to an elevation of approximately 412 meters (1,352 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain. It is situated near the village of Eddleston, about 5 kilometers (3 miles) southwest of the town of Peebles.

The hill is known for its picturesque views and is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. It offers a variety of walking routes, ranging from easy to moderate difficulty, making it accessible to a wide range of visitors. The summit of Crailzie Hill provides panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside, including the lush green valleys and rolling hills that characterize the Peeblesshire landscape.

The hill is covered in a mix of grasses, heather, and scattered woodland, adding to its natural beauty. Its diverse flora and fauna make it an ideal habitat for a range of wildlife, including birds, mammals, and insects. Visitors may spot species such as red grouse, buzzards, and roe deer while exploring the hill.

Crailzie Hill also has historical significance, with nearby archaeological sites indicating human activity in the area dating back thousands of years. The hill is therefore not only a place to enjoy the natural environment but also an opportunity to connect with the rich history and heritage of Peeblesshire.
