Broom Hill is a modest hill located in Angus, Scotland. Situated near the village of Aberlemno, it offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Although not particularly tall, with an elevation of approximately 200 meters (656 feet), Broom Hill stands out due to its distinctive shape and lush vegetation.

Covered in heather, gorse, and various wildflowers, Broom Hill is a haven for nature enthusiasts. Its slopes are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rabbits, hares, and a variety of bird species. During the spring and summer months, the hill is ablaze with the vibrant colors of blooming flowers, creating a picturesque scene.

The hill is easily accessible via a well-marked path that winds its way up to the summit. The hike to the top is relatively moderate, making it suitable for individuals of all fitness levels.
