Standing at an elevation of approximately 520 meters (1,706 feet), it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. The hill is part of the larger Grampian Mountain Range, which stretches across the Scottish Highlands.

Green Hill is characterized by its gentle slopes, covered in lush green grass and heather. The hill is predominantly made up of granite, which gives it a distinct appearance. Its slopes are dotted with scattered boulders, adding to its natural charm.

Slippery Jack (Boletus luteus) Described as gregarious beneath conifers, preferably pine. It is fairly easy to recognise and I am told that it is good eating, but may have some unwanted after-effects.

Chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius) Identified by one of my companions, these are one of the most palatable fungi, unless one has the identification wrong. But at least the species that can be confused with Chanterelles are just not very good rather than actually poisonous. Or so I believe.
