Clarilaw Hill is a prominent hill located in the county of Roxburghshire in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland. Rising to a height of approximately 332 meters (1,089 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain due to its relatively modest elevation. Despite its moderate height, Clarilaw Hill offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Situated in the southern part of Roxburghshire, Clarilaw Hill is part of a range known as the Southern Uplands, which spans across southern Scotland. The hill is characterized by its gently sloping, grassy terrain, making it a popular destination for walkers and hikers of all abilities.

The summit of Clarilaw Hill provides breathtaking vistas of the rolling countryside, with far-reaching views of the nearby Teviot Valley and the surrounding Cheviot Hills to the south. On a clear day, it is possible to see as far as the Northumberland National Park in England.

The area surrounding Clarilaw Hill is relatively rural, with scattered farms and fields stretching out beneath the hill. The hill itself is largely unwooded, allowing for unobstructed views in all directions. The peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the hill makes it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts and those seeking solitude.

Access to Clarilaw Hill is relatively easy, with several footpaths leading to the summit. Visitors can enjoy a pleasant walk through the surrounding countryside, taking in the natural beauty of the area, before reaching the summit and being rewarded with stunning views.
